“Work With All Your Heart”
 
 
whatever may be your task
 
by Dona Hake
 
 
I absolutely hate if I am trying to do something, and I just know that my heart is not in it. When we are trying to do our job or whatever is at hand, and our heart is not connected it simply feels like we are going through the motions.   Oh that the Lord would reveal to us that we need a heart adjustment in order to do all that we do with every bit of our energy and heart.   May He show us  the necessary adjustments that we may do all that we do with our whole heart!
 
 

Colossians 3:23 (AMP)
” Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul),

as [something done] for the Lord and not for men…”

 

 

In this scripture we can see that as we do anything, our focus needs to stay on the Lord. We need to work as if we are doing it for Him.  Another translation says, in ALL the work you are given, do the best you can. I think that is a great attitude to carry with us as we face each day’s demands whether if be at home, school or on our jobs. No matter what it is that is our responsibility we simply need do the best we can, and do it as if we are doing it for Him. As we pursue to make this a habit of our heart, I guarantee you that He will prosper all that you put your hand to.

 
 
 
Lord, we ask You today to help us stay sensitive and aware that we are doing all that we do with all of our heart, and with a good attitude.   Each day we believe that
Your grace will flow to us that we will be able to do all that is required of us.
We thank you for your strength and wisdom as we serve You each day, in Jesus Name, Amen!
