WORKING FOR THE GLORY OF GOD
Paul reminds us of something powerful: everything we do can be an act of worship. Whether it is our job, chores at home, or helping a friend, our attitude matters as much as the action itself.
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men. Colossians 3:23
When you approach your tasks, big or small, with the mindset that you are doing them for God, it changes everything. Suddenly, work is about something other than earning a paycheck; volunteering is not about getting recognition. Even mundane tasks, like washing dishes or answering emails, become meaningful when you realize they are opportunities to honor God.
God sees the heart behind our actions. He is not impressed by the task size but by the sincerity with which we do it. Are we giving our best or just going through the motions? Working heartily means putting our whole effort into what we do, knowing that our ultimate reward comes not from people but from God.
This means some tasks will not be easy and enjoyable. Sometimes, giving our best feels impossible, but in those moments, we can lean on the strength of God. Ask Him for the grace to keep going and the perspective to see your work as part of His bigger plan.
Remember, working as to the Lord is not about effort but the spirit of humility and love we bring to the table. When we work for God, it frees us from the pressure of seeking approval from others. It is not about pleasing people, it is about pleasing Him.
Today, approach whatever is on your plate with a joyful heart. Whether caring for your family, tackling a project, or lending a helping hand, do it for the glory of God. He sees you, values your effort, and promises a reward far greater than anything this world can offer.
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the love You have shown to me and the instructions in Your Word. As I live and work for You, I am thankful it is You I answer to. I am truly free from seeking the pressures of others. It is You I serve. Thank You, Father God. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
