So I made up my mind that there’s nothing better for us men and women than to have a good time in whatever we do—that’s our lot.
COLOSSIANS 3:17 (NLT)
And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Let the fact that you represent Christ in whatever you do or say shape how you approach your everyday activity.
DAILY FODDER
How does scripture blur the line between sacred and secular? What does it mean to represent Christ at your place of work?
PRAYER
Generous God, you've given me gifts, talents, and abilities so that I can serve you and my neighbors. I confess that I spend most of my time, energy, and worry trying to advance my own personal cause. Help me refocus on representing Christ in whatever place I'm planted and with whatever abilities I have. It's all a pleasure because it's all in your name. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
