God Honors Work
“Whatever you do, do your best.”
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Heaven’s calendar has seven Sundays a week. God sanctifies each day. He conducts holy business at all hours and in all places. He uncommons the common by turning kitchen sinks into shrines, cafes into convents, and nine-to-five workdays into spiritual adventures.
Workdays? Yes, workdays. He ordained your work as something good. Before he gave Adam a wife or child, even before he gave Adam britches, God gave Adam a job. “Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it” (Gen 2:15 NASB). Innocence, not indolence, characterized the first family…
God unilaterally calls all the physically able to till the gardens he gives. God honors work. So honor God in your work.
