Today's Word

Word of the Day: Receive God's blessing at work

23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Colossians 3:23-24

The work God gives you is a blessing. Remember that many people don't even have a job. Some jobs may be very tiring or poorly paid, and God doesn't like this; He looks at injustice with sadness. The same chapter of Colossians says that those who commit injustice will receive the injustice they commit. No one will go unpunished.

However, one thing is certain: whatever your job, you should do it willingly, as for the Lord. Keeping this in mind will change your perspective. Instead of seeing your work as an unbearable burden, you will see it as a wonderful opportunity to serve God.

God wants to help you so that you can sustain yourself and do a good job. Pray to God, and talk to Him from the heart about your work. If you are unemployed, ask Him to give you a good job. If your work situation is challenging, pray for God to grant you strength and patience until you find a new job.

If your work situation is great and you are happy with your job, thank God for this great blessing and glorify Him in the way you work.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17

Receive God's blessing in your life this morning.

Yesterday's Word

Word of the Day: God wants to set you free today!

Often, we only truly value freedom when it's taken away from us. Sin and the devil seek to enslave us and prevent us from living the best of God's plans for our lives, but the Lord came to set us free from all evil. Believe in Jesus and ask Him to break every chain that hinders you from living for God! Be completely free in Christ!

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

John 8:36

Jesus is the one who can truly set you free. He has the power to release you from any bondage that might be hindering your growth in the Lord. The freedom that God gives us is internal, it brings light into our lives, brings much peace, and fills our hearts with joy.

13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:13-14

Is there something you need to be set free from today? Is there any fear in your heart or any attitude that prevents you from living in the total freedom that God desires for you? Go to the Lord! Open your heart to His work, let Him cleanse your being and fill you with His Holy Spirit. The Lord will hear your cry and bring the deliverance you need to live the abundant life He has for you. He does this all because he has loved you since before you were even born.

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.

Psalm 34:6

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 8:31-32

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Word of the Day: Let God's love transform your life

Genuine love is something very rare in today's world. We see people who don't care about others, only able to think about their own interests because they lack love. But when God fills us with His love, everything changes, and people notice the difference. Ask God to fill you with His sublime love!

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:14

As your heart becomes increasingly filled with God and His love, it will guide you in how you treat others and help you bless them.

There are many ways to share God's love with others. We can offer a word of encouragement to those we see who are sad or discouraged and even offer to pray for them. We can help, as much as possible, people in financial need, offering a meal, for example.

Open your heart today to God's love and see how it will help you understand and love others.

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

Mark 12:30-31

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7
