Work Like Jesus: Unlocking God's Blueprint for WorkExemplo

Day 1: The Importance of Work

Ever wondered why work is such a big deal? Today's verses shed light on God’s perspective of work.

Just as Jesus said in John 5:17, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working," we recognize that our work is more than just a job; it's an act of worship to God.

When we work "as for the Lord," we're not just clocking in hours but honoring God with our skills and time.

And let's not forget the practical side of work. Providing for our families isn't just a social expectation; it's a spiritual responsibility.

So, today, let's shift our focus from merely getting the job done to doing it in a way that pleases God. Let's see our workplaces—wherever they may be—as mission fields ripe for Kingdom impact.

Lord, today I recognize that my work is more than just a job; it's an act of worship to You. As Colossians 3:23-24 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." Help me to see my workplace as a mission field and an opportunity for Your Kingdom's impact. Guide me in honoring You through my skills and time and providing for my family as You've instructed in 1 Timothy 5:8. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
