Key Scripture: Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.
Devotional
Our workplaces are mission fields. Whether earning a paycheck, running a household, or studying, every task can be an offering to God. When Paul urges us to work heartily as unto the Lord, he is lifting ordinary labor onto the altar of worship.
Serving God at work looks like excellence, integrity, and compassion. It sounds like patience with coworkers, diligence in tasks, and kindness when it is undeserved. Our attitude can become a powerful witness of Christ.
When we shift from “I have to” to “I get to for God,” even routine responsibilities gain purpose. The Lord is present at your desk, in your classroom, and around your kitchen table.
Invite God into your workday. Ask Him to guide your words and your work so that others sense His presence through you.
