Is Your Work Worship?
That’s the question we wrestled with as we looked at Ephesians 6:5–9 on Sunday.
It’s easy to separate our faith from our work—Sunday feels spiritual, while Monday feels… ordinary. But Scripture challenges that mindset. What if your daily work is actually meant to be worship?
To help us see that, I shared the story of Emil Kapaun.
Kapaun was one of the most decorated chaplains in military history. During the Korean War, under intense enemy fire, he didn’t run away from danger—he ran straight into it, rescuing wounded soldiers.
When others were ordered to retreat, he made a different choice. He stayed behind. He knew he would likely be captured. But he refused to leave the wounded behind.
Even in a prisoner-of-war camp, he continued to live out his faith through his work. He gave away his own food. He encouraged the weak and the dying. He served others faithfully—right up until his final breath.
That’s what it looks like when work becomes worship—not just what you do, but how and why you do it.
On this Memorial Day, we remember those who gave their lives for our freedom. And stories like Kapaun’s remind us that a life lived for others—and for God—has eternal impact.
So as you step into your work this week, here’s the challenge:
👉 Are you honoring God in what you do?
👉 Are you working for what’s eternal, not just what’s temporary?
What is one way you can honor God at work this week?
