Colossians 3:23,24 – Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.  It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” Does this scripture only apply if you like your job? No, the Bible says whatever you are doing, do it for the Lord. 

Christopher Wren, one of the greatest architects in London, was commissioned to build Saint Paul’s Cathedral after the great fire of 1666. In 1671, while observing 3 brick layers working on a scaffold, Wren asked, 

“What are you doing?” 

The first man that was crouched down replied, 

“Making a living.” 

The second man who was half way standing said, 

“Building a wall.” 

The third man who was working hard and fast said,

 “Building a cathedral for the Almighty.”  

You see, how you view what you do for a living makes a huge difference. You can choose to simply get a paycheck to help make ends meet, or you can choose to let your work be your worship and purpose. A person with purpose is the most effective and productive person there is.  

Do not forget Jesus at work. Bring His presence and purpose with you as you clean toilets, build houses, sell products, teach, create music, etc… Who you are at work is the “Jesus” that you are showing everyone around you. How can we expect our co-workers and those who are close to us to be positive and have a strong work ethic for God when we complain about everything we do? 

See your purpose in whatever season of work you are in and fulfill it. Be faithful in the little, and God will increase your ability. Revolutionize your workplace by bringing the presence of God with you in all that you do.
