Work As If For The Lord

 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." Colossians 3:23

I missed the opportunity this past Monday to write a Labor Day devotion so am back paddling now to do so. Another local devotion writer friend had an excellent one. 

There are many scriptures about working in the Bible. The first one I can recall is when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden and their punishment was that they would have to work the land. This means pulling weeds, digging, planting and so forth. No walk in the cool garden any more for them or for those after them. 

2 Thessalonians 3:10 says if a man doesn’t work he won’t eat sort of shining the light on handouts. Work is important. No where in the Bible does it mention retiring and resting from your labors. If you have a job be thankful as many don’t and would like to. Do a word study on the word work and labor on the Bible. Now go enjoy your day. 

PRAYER: Father I thank you for the gift of employment for those who have it. Thanks that you provide just what I need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
