Do it for the Lord
As we continue thinking about the principles of authority and submission, we move from focusing on husbands & wives to parents & children, and to masters & slaves. And as we do that, we give extra consideration to the other key principle, which is to ‘do it for the Lord’. Whether we are leading or serving; instructing or obeying; teaching or learning; we are to do it ‘in the Lord’. To serve him. To honour him. To glorify him. And if we do seek a reward, we should seek God’s reward over and above the reward of any human beings.
