"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve." -Colossians 3:23-24 (NASB)
Watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs with my daughter reminds me of working heartily and happily. The seven dwarfs seem cheerful as they are whistling on their way to work and while at work. We may not always feel like whistling on our way to work or while we are at work, but maybe we should!
Whenever we go to work, whether at our job, around the house, or at church, we should go with the attitude of working for and serving the Lord. This attitude should be one of cheerful service...maybe even whistling praises while we work! We can remember that the Lord can use everything we do to benefit His kingdom. Even if we do not see the connection between our work and God's Kingdom, we should work for Him and trust Him to use our work for good.
Work for the Lord in all things, always serving Him with your skills and talents, and "whistling" your praises to Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all of the opportunities You provide me to work for You. Please help me to use my skills, talents, and gifts from You to work for You and glorify You, whether at home, at my job, or at church. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
