Working Hard For Who and for What?

Why do you work? For survival and for money to survive? For building a family and to live a good life and make the best future for your children.

These are all good reasons to work. But what does God say?

Exodus 20:9 NKJV
(9)  Six days you shall labour and do all your work,

God says from the beginning that we shall work and do our labour and yes on the seventh day we must rest.

If you find yourself working hard everyday and it feels as if you are not getting any recognition or reward for your work, you have the wrong attitude towards the whole idea of working.

We do our work for God to praise him and not to please men.

Colossians 3:23-24 NKJV
(23)  And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,
(24)  knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

There for I say even if you might have a unfair boss or you think no one is seeing you or you just a slave. Know that you doing it for Jesus Christ our Lord and He will reward you in His way and His time.

By being patient and keeping on pushing on your actions will prove that you have fruit of The Spirit.

Proverbs 22:29 NKJV
(29)  Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.

Take these words and make it your own and share God's love and remember the money you make is not there for selfish purposes but to help others.

God bless,
