Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: The Rewards of Working Well
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Colossians 3:23-24
Every job has parts that are frustrating or moments that seem unfulfilling. And though the routine may not change, the good news is that our way of thinking can. We can decide to work as if the Lord is our boss—it’s a choice that makes all the difference.
Today’s passage tells us, “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men … It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.”

Treating our job like an extension of our service to the Lord changes our attitude. Pleasing Him will motivate us to do our best and inevitably result in a greater sense of contentment and gratitude (Colossians 3:17). Work may be challenging, frustrating, or boring, but we can be at peace regardless of our circumstances.
A servant heart can impact other employees as well. Service that is rendered with kindness, grace, and humility gets coworkers’ attention, which in turn opens up opportunities for ministry to the people with whom we spend hours each day.
Rewards for enthusiastic service on the job can take many forms—including greater personal satisfaction in our work and opportunities to reflect Christ to others. There is also the joy of knowing that our Father is pleased by our efforts.
