What If Everyone Worked With God In Mind?

Work as if you were serving the Lord, not as if
you were serving only men and women.
                -Ephesians 6:7

What if everyone worked with God in mind? 
Suppose no one worked to satisfy self or please
the bottom line but everyone worked to please
God. 
Many occupations would instantly cease:  drug
trafficking, thievery, prostitution, nightclub
and casino management.  Certain careers, by
their nature, cannot please God.  These would
cease. 
Certain behaviors would cases as well.  If I’m
repairing a car for God, I’m not going to
overcharge his children.  If I’m painting a wall
for God, you think I’m going to use paint
thinner? 
Imagine if everyone worked for the audience of
One.  Every nurse, thoughtful.  Every officer,
careful.  Every professor, insightful.  Every
salesperson, delightful.  Every teacher,
hopeful.  Every lawyer, skillful.
Impossible?  Not entirely.
