Committed Work

What are you working for? Who are you working for? What is your work accomplishing?
The wisdom of the Proverbs tells us that our work brings us God given agency and freedom, saying, “The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.” (Proverbs 12:24, ESV).
Our work is essential for provision and fulfillment. Our work has purpose. Our work has eternal significance. Our work brings God glory and helps usher in God’s kingdom in this world.
Proverbs instructs us concerning how to go about doing our work, saying, “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” (Proverbs 16:3, ESV).
God has called us to commit ourselves to our work, and to commit our work to God, so that he will establish our plans.
May we be committed to our work and commit our work to God so that our plans may be established by God.
A Collect for Commerce and Industry: “O Lord Jesus Christ, in your earthly life you shared our toil and hallowed our labor: Guide those who maintain the commerce and industries of this land, and give to all who labor pride in their work, a just reward, and joy both in supplying need and in serving you; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, world without end. Amen.” (#46., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
