"Not in the way of eye-service [working only when someone is watching you and only] to please men, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart; rendering service with goodwill, as to the Lord, and not [only] to men. Ephesians 6:6-7 AMP
Do you know someone who delights in eye-service? if yes, the text scripture above gives us the perfect instruction to follow. Not working only to please men, but pleasing the Lord by doing the Will of the Father.
An excellent example is the story of Martha and Mary. The scripture tells us that Martha was distracted with much serving, while Mary sat at Jesus' feet to hear His Word (Luke 10:38-42). Martha was busy in the kitchen cooking with so much eye-service, trying to please the flesh but Mary chose the good part. This passage clearly reveals the desire the Lord Jesus wants of His children. He wants us to abide in Him, worship Him and stay connected to Him rather than serving Him.
Eye-service is dangerous because it takes you out of the will of God and destroys relationships. Let your pleasing be to the Lord only.
