Thought of the Day !!

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
Colossians 3:23

As we go about our daily routine, we accomplish many tasks. They will range from the very important things like reminding loved ones of our love, praying, going to work, and even breathing to the mundane or routine things like getting the paper or emptying the trash.

Paul teaches that we should do everything we do as if doing it for the Lord. This only stands to reason since he expects us to live our lives totally for Christ Jesus. Maybe his point in this is that if we're doing everything as if we are doing it for our Lord, we will constantly be reminded of who's we are and what's truly important in our lives.

Let's give it a try today. When you answer the phone...do it as if you were God's answering service. When you pick up the mail...do it as if you were picking up God's mail. When you drive down the road...treat the other drivers as if they had God in the car with them. As you greet your neighbors...greet them as if they were standing next to Christ. As you.....you fill in the rest.

If we do everything as if doing it for the Lord, we just might find out that our day gets better and we make other people's days better as well. Good luck.

In the love of Christ,
greg
