Reflect

In this episode, Liz learns some things about work. Some people say that work is a necessary evil. But that is not how the Bible views work. Even in the Garden of Eden, before sin entered the world, God gave Adam and Eve work to do. And the Bible says God “worked” when he created the world.

The way you do your work can be the most powerful preaching you ever do. Do you do your work well? Do you do it cheerfully? Can the people you work for and work with see the God you serve by the way that you serve them? Everything you do will either honor or dishonor God. If you do a good job washing a floor or giving a speech you can show that your real boss is God and you want to do your best for him. Do you know what work God is asking you to do? Whatever you are asked to do, work hard. Work cheerfully. Work for the Lord.

Want to dig deeper about working hard? Read Ecclesiastes 9:10, Proverbs 22:29 and 2 Thessalonians 3:10
