Colossians 3:23-24

Whatever you are doing, work at it with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not for people,  because you know that you will receive your inheritance from the Lord as the reward. Serve the Lord Christ.

As Christians, we are to apply ourselves to whatever we work at as if we were working for the Lord. This goes to create a solid witness in our lives for Christ Jesus - and it is not of our own power that we come by the strength to accomplish it, but by the grace and strength of our Lord Jesus Christ. What we can do is strive to remember Jesus in every situation, and rather than hasten to a response, allow patience and the peace of Christ to enter in. As you serve others on this earth, whatever their position...serve as unto the Lord and pray that God would lead you in that service.
