Everything We Do

One Scripture passage explains God's view of ordinary and extraordinary tasks in our lives. This 1-minute devotion explains. #BibleLoveNotes #Biblestudy

 “Abraham expressed his faith by packing his bags and moving. David administered a kingdom. Jesus pounded nails on a carpenter’s bench. Paul made friends, sewed tents, planned journeys, and raised funds for the poor in Jerusalem. Through such ordinary deeds the kingdom of God advanced. What they did mattered less than why and for whom. In creation, in incarnation, in all acts on earth, God hallows the ordinary.”     Philip Yancey *

Every day we make choices: 
  • to work lazily or diligently. 
  • to be rude or considerate. 
  • to neglect or nourish our relationship with the Lord.
  • to excuse or repent of our sins. 
You might have influence over hundreds of employees or two toddlers. You may decide how your company spends $2 million or how your family spends $20. 

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord” because God cares about both the ordinary and extraordinary duties of our lives (Colossians 3:23).  

* Rumours of Another World, Philip Yancey, Zondarvan, copyright 2003, Page 231

    It would make a huge difference if we viewed the things we do, through the eyes of Jesus. Those things which appear to be insignificant when viewed through our eyes, are actually things that matter a great deal to the Lord. When we do what ever we do, no matter how great or small, we should always do those things as unto the Lord! God bless you! I enjoyed the post!
