The single greatest action that you can perform to look more valuable to your employer is to just show up every day. This shows the employer that you have a good work ethic and that they can depend on you.

How much more important is it for you to “show up every day” as a true Christian to God? This doesn’t mean that your 24 hour day consists of nothing but prayer, reading your Bible, eating, sleeping, and working. What it does mean is that outside of those things you live your Christianity. Whether you spend 5 minutes or 5 hours reading your Bible isn’t as important as taking what you’ve read and applying it to your life. In this way you are growing closer with Jesus Christ.

A being outside of time, space and matter created the universe. This being pierced His creation and lived among us. He lived a perfectly good life without breaking any of His Laws. He paid the debt that everyone owes by breaking His Law. We owe Him everything and deserve nothing.

We give our employers 8 for 8 (eight hours work for eight hours pay) so just remember that as a Christian accountable to our Lord we owe him 24 for 0. We do good works because he is working in us, not because we are trying to get anything.  His plan is absolutely awesome.
