Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. – Colossians 3:23, NLT
Recommended Reading: Colossians 3:22-25
Writer Sebastian Traeger said, “God’s intention, from the very beginning, was for human beings to work. Work is not a result of sin…. From the moment God created Adam and Eve, He gave them work to do. He made a garden and told them, ‘Work it and take care of it.’”1
A lot of people believe that only some Christians are called into the ministry. It’s true that some are called to vocational ministry and earn a paycheck from a Christian organization like a church. But God has a ministry for every follower of Jesus, and we often have opportunities to serve Jesus on the sales floor, in the office, or in the school hallway. Wherever we are and whatever we do, we’re to do it as serving Christ.
Our attitude and our actions in the workplace are a witness to the people who watch us. We must guard our work ethic so that people won’t say negative things about our Lord. Work heartily at whatever you do for Christ’s sake. There are no little jobs when the Lord is giving the assignment!
The gospel brings significant meaning to the seemingly mundane and provides a supreme purpose for every employee and employer on the planet.
