Acorn Build Up: Back to Work (1/2/07)

Back to Work

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

I must admit that for most of my life I believed that people in pastoral ministry were the only people working directly for God. I even sought full-time ministry as a step away from just plain work toward really serving the Lord. I had it all wrong! We can, and should, serve the Lord in whatever work we do.

As many of us return to our work after a bit of a break over the holidays, this seems like the perfect opportunity to evaluate our attitude toward the work we do. God has placed us where we are. Let us honor God by undertaking the tasks of our work for Him. We are all in ministry when we serve Jesus Christ, no matter what work we do.
