Work Colossians 3:23

Good morning!!! Hope all is going well with you and you are remaining in God's word. Well, Ernesto is now just bringing moisture and is not here to wreck and destroy. Yea!!! We must keep on working and going forth. Oh, speaking of working, yes, let's look at this. Colossians 3:23 "WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT ENTHUSIASTICALLY, AS SOMETHING DONE FOR THE LORD AND NOT FOR MEN." The Bible, in several places tells us the results of not working. We should do it enthusiastically. How many times do you hear someone say how is work going? Then the response is it is going. What does that mean? If we go forth enthusiastically we will have put forth the effort to enjoy, not just tolerate.
The second letter to the Thessalonians, Paul warns, "...if any would not work, neither should he eat." Also in Proverbs "One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys: 18:9 God did not create us to "just do a job", He wants us to do our very best. Establish a reputation as Christians. We all have known families that were known for not being hard workers; also, we have all known people who people will refer to as they are "hard workers." The latter is a compliment. Ecclesiastes 9:10 "Whatever you hands find to do, do with all you strength." Ephesians 6:6-7 "Don't work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God's will from your heart. Render service with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men."
All we do should be for the Lord---not for men. Go forth, be a witness for our Lord and Saviour---Jesus Christ. Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
