This week's verse is a gentle reminder to us on how to handle bad work situations. In our lives sometimes the work we do seems under-appreciated or maybe irrelevant. Sometimes the people we work for seem undeserving or over-bearing.
We should remember that even the most menial task can have a big impact (it's called a ripple effect). Some of the things God asked His people to do in the Bible seem insignificant. But in reality those tasks played an important role. Trust God that what you're doing has a purpose (even if no one seems to notice).
Remember, also, that every boss's boss is our boss. We all answer to the one true King (whether we recognize it or not). What our heavenly Boss wants from us is to be obedient to those in authority (except when that means being disobedient to Him). And He wants and expects us to give our best.
Trust in Him. He sees your difficult situation and is strengthening you (maybe for your own role as a leader.)
Whatever you do work as for the Lord. Then next verse says you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. And what a reward that will be.
