Word of the Day: Receive God's blessing at work

²³Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, ²⁴since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Colossians 3:23-24

The work God gives you is a blessing. Remember that many people don't even have a job. Some jobs may be very tiring or poorly paid, and God doesn't like this; He looks at injustice with sadness. The same chapter of Colossians says that those who commit injustice will receive the injustice they commit. No one will go unpunished.

However, one thing is certain: whatever your job, you should do it willingly, as for the Lord. Keeping this in mind will change your perspective. Instead of seeing your work as an unbearable burden, you will see it as a wonderful opportunity to serve God.

God wants to help you so that you can sustain yourself and do a good job. Pray to God, and talk to Him from the heart about your work. If you are unemployed, ask Him to give you a good job. If your work situation is challenging, pray for God to grant you strength and patience until you find a new job.

If your work situation is great and you are happy with your job, thank God for this great blessing and glorify Him in the way you work.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17

Receive God's blessing in your life this morning.

The Truth

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
- John 8:31–32

We have all experienced what it is like to live as if we were prisoners. Jesus explained why when He said, “Everyone who sins is a slave to sin” (John 8:34).

Living without Jesus is living as a prisoner of sin, but Jesus Himself gave us the solution. He said that the truth sets us free. Without Jesus, we were slaves to sin, but with Him as our Lord and Savior, we are free from the power of sin and we begin to enjoy the truth and the abundant life found in Him.

But what is the truth? The truth is not a concept or an idea. The truth is a person. Jesus said:

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
- John 14:6

The truth of Jesus is liberating. With Him in your life you will be free and have a clear direction. With Jesus, you will learn to live without the chains of a sinful life and without fear of death, because in Him there is eternal life.

If you are living as a prisoner of an addiction or an ungodly lifestyle, Jesus is your only solution. Cry out to Him, focus on Him, learn about Him, and He will set you free.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Words of blessing

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
- Ephesians 4:29

A good daily challenge is to speak words that build up and bless other people. Speak words that bring life, words that renew the heart of those who listen to you. Do not contribute to the pessimism, ingratitude, disrespect, or cruelty that are so abundant in this world.

Choose to build up, to bless, to bring encouragement to your family, your coworkers, and everyone around you. May your words be pleasing to others’ ears and music to God’s ears. You will end the day with great satisfaction and with the certainty that you have spoken what pleases the Lord.

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
- Psalm 19:14

Ask God to help you speak words of blessing that please Him. Pray that He will keep your heart pure so that what flows from within you can be a blessing to others.

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
- Luke 6:45
