Part 8: Working for the Lord

Pray these words:

Dear Jesus, I believe and trust your word. Please guide me as I read and meditate on these words. Open my heart to learn and understand what you have for me today. In your name, Amen.

Colossians 3:18-4:1 reads:

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

Masters, treat your bondservants justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

Think About It:

Which of these verses stands out and applies to my life most right now? How can I practically follow this instruction?

Pray these words:

Thank you, Lord, for your word which helps me know how to live a life honoring to you. Show me areas of my life I need to change. In your name, Amen.
