Thoughts on Today’s Verse of the Day
Paul discusses the issue of doing things solely to gain others’ approval. He describes it as literally “the way of eye-service,” or the problem of only working hard when the master’s eyes are directly upon us.
Paul also describes this type of behaviour as being a “people-pleaser.” Some serve others, but for the wrong reasons. This might be to feel good about themselves or to impress someone else, as in this context.
This might also include those who aim to do as little as possible while “putting on a show” to make an overseer believe they are doing more than they actually are. Paul condemns all of these practices, referring to bondservants instead as “bondservants of Christ.”
A bondservant of Christ, or servant of the Lord (such as Elijah or John the Baptist), would not serve only when observed by others but always, for the glory of God. As Paul states, God’s servants are to serve “doing the will of God from the heart.”
It is not the service that is wrong, but the attitude, when a servant works solely for others to notice rather than for God’s glory. — Verse of the Day.
My Prayer…

I find hope in Your presence, confident that Your plans for me are good and purposeful. Grant me wisdom to walk in Your ways and the courage to trust in Your divine timing.
May my spirit stay forever in communion with You as Your Spirit fills me to the brim. Amen— verse of the day.
