Love your neighbor as yourself. Sometimes work is difficult. But what is our work anyways? I mean the work God has for us. If you are working today feeling like your job has no purpose for God, think again!

Let us consider how to stir one another to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24).

I want to stir you up to consider that God’s work is multiplied though you. What are some things you can do today to bring glory to God? Does your job feel unimportant? I assure you it is not.

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 (Colossians 3:23–24).

Think about working for God, and the rewards he has for you. How do you reflect the love of Jesus Christ? Do people wonder what makes you different? And what is the point anyways?

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you (Matthew 28:19-20).

Jesus wants us to make disciples! And we can start by thinking about good works at work!

An easy way to consider good works is to think about the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5. Perhaps you have this list memorized—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Is there a way you can display more patience with someone at work? Can you choose gentler words when delivering feedback? Perhaps you can extend kindness to a colleague by affirming their work or even encouraging them when they are overwhelmed. Do you work in an environment full of strife? How can you bring the peace?

What about goodness? Do you choose to do what is right when perhaps you are faced with a scenario which may challenge your ethics?

We often get caught up in thinking about our position, more than we think about the way we work. Foundationally, the way we work, as to the Lord and not to men, is what can leave people asking why we are different and ultimately make disciples!
