Dedicate all your work to God.

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

Your work is important! Even if what you do seems to have little impact, you can make a difference through the way you work. Strive to be diligent, punctual, helpful, humble, and attentive. Work with enthusiasm, joy, politeness, a good attitude, and love. Be an excellent collaborator for your colleagues, clients, and bosses.

Whether at home, at work, in the church, or in your community, always aim to do your best in all your tasks so that God may be glorified. Be a light and bless everyone around you. Think about this: your different attitude toward work will attract people’s attention, creating opportunities for growth and for sharing about Jesus.

Work diligently, and God will honor your work.

• Pray to the Lord and dedicate everything you do to Him.

• Thank God for the job you have and for the opportunity to be useful in all that you do.

• If you are unemployed, ask the Lord to grant you opportunities to work.

• Read in the Bible about faithful workers and learn from their examples: Joseph (Genesis 39), the virtuous woman (Proverbs 31), Jesus (in the Gospels), Paul, etc.

• Give a good testimony in your workplace. Take advantage of opportunities to share your faith in Jesus.

Prayer:

Lord God, thank You for the opportunity to be useful through the work I do. Help me to be faithful in completing tasks, in relationships with people, and in having a proactive and dedicated attitude with love. Bless all those who are unemployed; open good doors for them to find employment. May all my work serve to glorify Your name and bless others. In Jesus’ name, I pray with gratitude, amen.
