Colossians 3:23
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people.”
This verse will revolutionize how you see your work. Note carefully it says: Whatever you do! Nurse, teacher, homemaker, leader, manager, janitor, stay at home parent.
Notice also it says: “work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people.”
How does your work become worship? By changing who you are ultimately working for. In the larger picture, whatever we do, other than sin, can be done as an act of worship to God, because we are “working for the lord and not for people.”
Psalms 90:17
May the favor of the LORD our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands.
“The opposite of a slave is not a free man. It’s a worshipper. The one who is most free is the one who turns the work of his hands into sacrament, into offering. All he makes and all he does are gifts from God, through God, and to God. . . . . Virtually any job, no matter how grueling or tedious . . . can be a gift from God, through God, and to God. The work of our hands, by the alchemy of our devotion, becomes the worship of our hearts,” writes Mark Buchanan.
May you work become worship as you do it as unto the Lord and carry on a continual conversation with Him while you are doing it.
