“And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,” – Colossians 3:23
When I read this verse, I envision a dedicated worker pouring their heart and soul into their tasks, seeing each effort as an offering to God rather than merely a job to complete.
Colossians 3:23 reminds us that our work is not just about fulfilling our duties to please others but about honoring God in all we do. When we shift our focus from seeking approval from men to serving the Lord, we find purpose in our daily activities, no matter how mundane they may seem. This perspective transforms our work into a form of worship and allows us to cultivate a spirit of excellence and joy in our endeavors.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help me to remember that my work is a reflection of my love for You. Empower me to approach each task with dedication and a heart that seeks to glorify You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
