Words to Live By... work

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men" (Colossians 3:23, NIV).

Who? Me
What? Whatever work i find or am asked to do
Where? Anywhere and everywhere
Why? It's for the Lord
When? All the time

When i think about what the word "work" entails, i may not always recognize the "glory" in it. After all, anyone who works at home or in the public arena knows that work can sometimes seem menial, tedious, or unappreciated.

However, when i reflect on God's view of my work, whatever i do becomes an opportunity to glorify Him. That's where the glory belongs, after all.
This week as we work, no matter how great or small the task before us, may we "work at it with all our hearts, as working for the Lord, not for men."

Join my friends Linda and Dalene on their Weekly Words to Live By Facebook page and/or in their Words to Live By devotional book (115-120) for new ways of thinking about the word "work."

What we are is God’s gift to us. What we do is our gift to God.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
veneal
