I Will Work as if I’m Working for God
OPENING PRAYER:
Dear Lord, as we come before You today, help us to commit to working as if we are working for You. May our actions and attitudes reflect Your love and grace in all that we do. Amen.
"And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed. He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds."
Titus 2:12-14 (NLT)
REFLECT:
Paul’s message to Titus emphasizes the importance of living godly lives, reflecting the character of Christ in all that we do. Our work is an opportunity to glorify God and to share His love with those around us. This means making a conscious decision to work as if we are working for God, not just for human masters.
Living self-controlled, upright, and godly lives means saying “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions. It means making choices that honor God, even when it’s difficult. This can be challenging in a world that often values success and recognition over integrity and faithfulness. However, as followers of Christ, we are called to a higher standard.
Consider the impact of your work on those around you. Are you living in a way that reflects the character of Christ? Are you using your work as an opportunity to glorify God and to share His love with others? Reflect on how you can align your actions and attitudes with the greater purpose of your work.
Reflect on the "I Will" statement from the message: "I will work as if I’m working for God this week." This commitment requires a daily decision to honor God in all that we do. It means approaching our work with a heart of service, integrity, and excellence, knowing that our efforts are ultimately for the Lord.
I WILL STATEMENT:
I will work as if I’m working for God this week.
CLOSING PRAYER:
Lord, help me to commit to working as if I am working for You. May my actions and attitudes reflect Your character and glorify Your name. Give me the strength and wisdom to make choices that honor You, and use my efforts for Your glory. Amen.
