23 Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people, 24 knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3:23-34 CSB)

As we adjust to our new normal and working from home is not longer a convenience but a necessity, diligence is a must.

At work the distractions come in the way of meetings, phone calls, email or casual walk by conversations (drive-by’s). However, at home a new diligence is needed as Our drive-by’s come in the form of family or personal distractions.

Furthermore we are distant from our peers and bosses which hold us accountable.

Now, more than ever, this scripture is relevant. We must steel ourselves to work, as we should always have, as if working for God. Which in reality we are. Our diligence in our work should be driven by our desire to please God before man.
