Bible Verse of The Day – 5-8-24

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.

Many times, we will hear this verse being used to encourage us to do all things, especially those things unrelated to our walk with God, to the fullest of our ability, as though we are doing them for God.

And rightly so. This is part of how we set an example, showing God to others through our actions.

Conversely, let us consider how we do those things that are part of our walk with God; the things we do to directly serve Him.

God tasks each of us with certain things; purposes to walk out in our lives.

We may not always know what these things are immediately, struggling to “find ourselves” as a child of God.

But over time, as we spend time in His word and we diligently seek Him, He unfolds it all for us a little at a time.

And as we walk it out, especially over the long haul, we must be careful to not allow it to become ho-hum, ordinary or habitual to us.

Our walk with God should never be mechanical or rote.

This can happen to anyone, and it can put our walk at risk of becoming stale or less meaningful. It often happens slowly, over time, making it hard to detect until it is deeply entrenched and needs to be rooted out.

But if we serve God wholeheartedly, remembering that we do it not unto men, but unto Him, it will help us keep things in their proper perspective.

If we look at the original language of the verses above, we will see that “heartily” literally means “from the soul”.

And “the reward of the inheritance”, literally means “consisting of the inheritance”.

Knowing this, we understand that as we do everything heartily, from the soul, as though we were working for the Lord, we know that from the Lord we will receive the reward, consisting of the inheritance, for we serve the Lord Christ.

Let us not allow our walk with God to become mundane or ritualistic. But let it be vibrant and full of life, allowing that life to spill out onto every aspect of each day we live!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-3-17

Colossians 3:23 (NKJV) 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men…

All of us, all around the world today, will get up and get ready to go to work. We will dress accordingly for our position. We will prepare ourselves for our job or school. For some it will mean that we will care for our home and our children.

Wherever we go or whatever we do, please let us be reminded of this verse. Let this verse speak to our heart, that we will do what we do with everything in us, that it will be pleasing to our Lord.

Forget about everything else regarding the work. For example, don’t focus on the money or the pay increase. Don’t think about whether we will have friends there, or what type of position it is.

Instead, let us put our focus on the fact that God is watching our heart and our performance.

Work hard, and with great purpose, and our reward will come.

2 Chronicles 15:7 (NKJV) 7 But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”

God bless you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-4-16

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.

Have you ever felt like you work hard with no appreciation in return? Do you feel like you give it 100%, and yet you get nothing in return?

Many of us can testify to situations that we’re in, or have been in, where we feel mistreated or under-appreciated. Let’s be honest. Sometimes we just feel downright used and abused, don’t we?

Well, first off, let’s remember what the Word says above. We need to continue to do everything just as we were/are doing it for God Himself.

No, that doesn’t make being mistreated feel any better. But it will cause God to be glorified in everything we do. And in the end, that’s what is most important for all of us. So it’s important that we don’t get tired out and give up before we get our breakthrough.

Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Some of us may have been in this kind of a situation for a very long time. We might even feel like it will never change. In fact, we may have given up on ever seeing it turn around.

But do you remember Joseph? He spent many years in prison and as a servant before God elevated him to be Potiphar’s top adviser and overseer of Egypt! If he had given up, his entire destiny could have been forever changed or even lost.

And even while he was in prison, Joseph excelled and had favor with the guards and the overseers there.

Why? Because he refused to sit around and feel bad about his situation, despite the fact that his own brothers had sold him into slavery due to their jealousy. And in the end, Joseph was exalted and made a leader that everyone looked up to.

So if you’re in a situation anything like this or you feel mistreated, don’t give up hope. Keep your eyes on God and trust Him to bring you through it with victory.

And in the meantime, keep doing all things as unto God.
