Adhering to the Word while working

For most of the jobs you do there will be some unpleasantness attached. But we are told to work hard and diligently as if for the Lord and not men. (Col. 3:23) Not looking out for our own interests, but we are to work without taking praise, and work for more than just money.
We are also to work knowing that what we do is providing for and contributing to the good of the community, as well as your family. For example, the truck driver knows that he is transporting necessaries to where they are needed, the Christian book writer knows that what he is writing is having a positive influence on the readers, and the videographer knows that the events he films can now be watched more than once, and the movies he makes are touching peoples hearts and minds. As long as you work with a Protestant work ethic, for the Lord and not men, your work will most likely be a blessing to those around you, and pleasing to the Lord Most High.
But when you work, you are to give respect and honor to your co-laborers, whether your boss or you brother. Which can be hard, especially when they are mean or self-absorbed, but when they are in authority, and you are not, according to Numbers 27:18-21 we are to obey those in authority, that is unless they command something sinful.
You are to commit your work to the Lord (Prov. 16:3), and reserve to Him both the outcome and the glory that may be directed to you. Be totally reserved to His will, ready to do what He wills, and then make sure that your pride will not hinder you from recognizing where every good thing comes from. (not from you)
You are to do the work of the Lord (1Cor. 15:58) and only then will your labor not be in vain. Everything you work at is useless unless done for the right reasons.
Make sure your work actually helps and bears good fruit. (Col. 1:10)
Work hard as if for the Lord and not men. (Col. 3:23)
We are not to be busybodies, nor are we to be lazy, but we are to work quietly and earn our own living. (2 Thes. 3:12)
And you are to maintain your purity at all times in the workplace. There are very many sinful distractions out in the workplace, there will be stumbling blocks wherever you are, but whenever you are tempted to sin you must meditate on Scripture (Psalm 119:9, Col 3:8)
We should be working all the time. Working at praying constantly and doing everything to His glory. But wherever you end up working, whether it be in your own home, around the garden, on the computer, or for some company where you will be surrounded by other people, work hard, and for the right purposes. Adhere to the Scriptures while working!
