Colossians 3:23 –
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,
To those reading this post, have you ever taken the time to reflect on just how much you can accomplish when you do it all for and onto the LORD?
I, for one can state unequivocally, and with all my heart, that I have found that to be true, consistently. It is a pattern that presents itself repeatedly throughout all my years thus far, and I suspect it will do so until I am called home.
Doing things for the LORD, brings about a certain “zest” almost an “effervescence” of spirit when the task/job is done with the LORD in mind.
His Presence is with us, and dwells within us at all times. (1 Corinthians 3:16)
Honoring Him, by being the best we can and realizing that our job is vitally important, is in fact a way of growing deeper, and further into the roots of our Christianity.
Being a part of His army as a soldier, we march to His orders, and surrender to God and God alone. He is the single most important factor of our lives, He is our Five Star General, and we owe Him our full service no one else but Him. After all, as it states in 2 Timothy 2:4 – “No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.”
And He is the One, that will protect and provide to all of our needs, all the days we are here on earth. From birth to death, and all the in-betweens, He is with us. As promised and stated in Isaiah 46:4 “even to your old age I am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.”
Do all things for Him, and through Him, by honoring Him with the best of your best and all the rest will smoothly fall into place.
Have you acknowledged Him today?
Do you know He is right there with you?
“Father God, may I do the best I can for You and through You, today, tomorrow and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
