serving two masters???...

So, in following my first post, I've come across another section my "Proverbs for Business" book. This goes along with the first, Respecting your Boss. Today's feature is: Do you have any employees reporting to two bosses?

As you already know, I have more than one boss. This feature struck a chord with me. The scripture that goes with this is Matthew 6:24,"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other."

You probably already know that my feelings on this subject are not so good. I've been inspired a lot lately by my friends and loved ones. I'm trying to regroup my work attitude -- namely in that my job is a gift and responsibility that God has given me. And as a believer, I need to be glorifying God while I'm at work, and doing my work, and hopefully, can be a witness for others. Boy have I failed for sure this week. (And about 10 millions times over the last year.) But back to our featured verse; how can I best serve my masters? Until the number changes, what kind of plan does God have for me, and how can I best pay attention to his will. Please give me your thoughts. I'm desperate for wisdom.
