A devotional reflection on honoring Christ through diligent labor.
Topical
Work is service unto Christ. Scripture teaches that all work done for God’s glory becomes worship. Diligence, integrity, and excellence honor Him.
Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord. (Colossians 3:23)
Study to be quiet, and to do your own business. (1 Thessalonians 4:11)
In all labour there is profit. (Proverbs 14:23)
Christian Application
Work encourages believers that God is present in their daily tasks and strengthens them for faithful labor. Work diligently, serve joyfully, and honor Christ in all you do.
Sample Prayer
Lord, help me work with diligence and serve You in every task. Amen.
