Tuesday Devotional: Colossian 3:23-24
23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Throughout the years that I have been here on earth, there are many things that I have had to do. Chores and activities that I have not necessarily enjoyed doing. Many that I would put off until the last moment that it needed to be done. I remember as a kid when it was my turn to do certain chores, I would not do them with a happy face full of joy. And now as an adult, I often feel the same way about the same chores.
But in his letter to the Colossians, the apostle Paul reminds us that everything we do here on earth should be done for the glory of God, and not for ourselves or other earthly reasons. We are meant to be in service throughout our lives. In service to God and in service to His people. So instead of putting off those jobs that we don't like to do, we need to look at them, and see how they can be done to serve and honor God and to serve and honor people, putting our whole heart into the work and showing God’s love through everything we do.
