Todays Daily Devotion: βDo all your work in love.β 1 Corinthians 16:14 (TEV) The apostle Paul says, βDo all your work in love.β He doesnβt say some of your work but all of your work. He also says that no matter βwhat I do, Im bankrupt without love.β 1 Corinthians 13:3 (MSG). The point is, any job can be turned into worship when it is built on the model of Christs love; that love is expressed to co-workers, clients, and customers. Mother Teresa said, βItβs not what you do so much that matters, but how much love you put into it.β Think about it like this: Two-thirds of the word βcareerβ is C-A-R-E. The English philanthropist John Ruskin once said, βWhen love and skill come together, expect a masterpiece.β So, I want you to pray a prayer every day this week β whether its at home or at school, in your backyard, or at an office or wherever you work. I want you to pray, βFather, today I want to worship you through my work. I want to express my gifts. I want to do it as if Im doing it for you, and I want to do it in love. βSo then, my friends, because of Gods great mercy to us I appeal to you: Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offerβ (Romans 12:1 TEV).
