Work

What is the work you are called to do? Do you do your work with all your might? Do you do your work as an act of worship? Is your heart in your work?

Our work matters to God. We are called to work with all our might. Our work is worship. How we engage our heart matters to God.

With our work comes great reward.

The Apostle Paul wrote the Colossian church, encouraging them by saying, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:23-24, ESV).

Everything we do, including our work, is to be done primarily for God as an act of worship and service. And when we do the worship of work, we receive God’s good reward and inheritance as we serve the Lord Christ.

May we do the work of worship with our lives as we await God’s good inheritance.

A Collect for the Eve of Worship: “O God, the source of eternal light: Shed forth your unending day upon us who watch for you, that our lips may praise you, our lives may bless you, and our worship on the morrow give you glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
