Work as my Worship
23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. - Colossians 3:23-24
This is quite a reminder for us to do our work as if it is for God. Sometimes, there are days when we are too tired, or we want to rest, or we want things to change, or we face challenges in the workplace. But the question is: how do we respond in a way that is truly "for the Lord"?
Tough question, right? But it is a call for us that whatever we do, we do it as an outflow of our love for God, and because of that, we will do things differently. When our work comes from this place of love rather than just duty, it changes our motivation. We are no longer working just for human approval or a paycheck, but out of gratitude to Him.
In times when we are too tired, we can always rest. In times when we want things to change, we can communicate. In times when we have challenges, we can always seek a peaceful way to reconcile or resolve them.
Work with purpose, rest with grace, and do it all for the Lord.
