A Good Day’s Work

-August 16, 2024-

Good morning beloved, happy Friday,

“Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening.”

(Psalm 104:23).

The wise expression says, “An honest day’s pay for an honesty day’s work.” As Christians, we must follow this mantra every day. Nowadays in the world, many people want to do just enough to collect a paycheck.

As you know I am retired from my job and I serve the Lord in many ways. I work hard and I am busier now than when I was working. I now work seven days a week.

Today is Friday, the last day of the work and school week. I am not so sure how productive most people are on Fridays. Mondays aren’t always that good either, as they are coming back from the weekend. From what I have seen Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are the most productive in the work week.

From the time we arrive at work until we leave we should give it our all and do it for the Lord. Then we can go home and rest. There is nothing wrong with working hard, especially when we do it for the Lord. Paul writing to the Ephesians wrote, “Bondservants (employees), be obedient to those who are your masters (bosses) according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; not with eyeservice, as men pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with goodwill doing service as to the Lord, and not to men” (Ephesians 6:5-7).

Let us work hard at work, at school, or in whatever we do for the glory of God. People who know we are believers are listening to our words and watching our lives to see if we live what we preach.

Have a blessed day doing everything in Jesus’ name. Stay safe and healthy.

Working for Christ, the best Boss.
