Colossians 3:23-24

With all the work we have these days the temptation to just give up or to not do your best is really high. If for no other reason, we should put 100% into all that we do since we do it for God's glory. That means toughing it and keeping ourselves motivated, even when it seems like the work will never go away. Don't worry, we're not in it alone though....if we do our part (put the effort in) and have faith, God will help us through it :-).

The Daily Devo
by Pastor Steve Baney

Colossians 3:23-24 "Whatever you do, work at it
with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not
for men, since you know that you will receive an
inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the
Lord Christ you are serving." (NIV)

If you are working for God and not for men, then your payment will be a bit more fulfilling. How can you work for God while flipping burgers or filing papers or doing some other job? You have the opportunity every day to share the love of Jesus with the people you see at work or school!

Lord, help me to learn more ways that I can work for You.
