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.

Word of the Day: Receive a gift from God!

5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Romans 5:1-5

Do you like receiving gifts? God is generous and likes to give us good things. He offers us many gifts, in the passage above we see some of the gifts he offers us:

  • Through the action of Jesus, we have been reunited with God: this relationship we can have with God is a source of peace.
  • Through the struggles and challenges we may face, we are given perseverance. Perseverance is character-building and ultimately provides us with the gift of hope. We have hope because of God's perfect plan!
  • Love has been poured into our hearts because of the gift of The Holy Spirit
  • All of this should be a source of Joy to us. We can rejoice since we are a part of God's perfect plan.

But the greatest gift of all is Jesus. Through Jesus, we receive salvation, eternal life, and God's constant presence in our lives.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Word of the Day: Do you know what it means to be a Christian?

Many people go to church and believe in God. But being a Christian is more than that. A True Christian believes that Jesus Christ died for their sins and rose again to give them eternal life. They repent of their sins and dedicate their entire life to Jesus. When this happens, the Christian receives Jesus into their heart and has a new life!

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Romans 10:9-10

So, if you haven't had a real encounter with Jesus yet, pray and ask Him to become the Lord and Savior of your life. Confess your failures, everything you've done and know is wrong. Talk to Him and receive His love and forgiveness. Christ is waiting with open arms for you to come to Him. Don't let another day pass without surrendering your life to God! In Him, you will find true life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23

Remember all that Christ did for you, his death on the cross, his love for you. With all this in mind, have you dedicated your life to Jesus?
