Praise and Honor in the Work (Devotion)

Proverbs 16: 3 

"Commit thy works unto theLord and thy thoughts shall be established"

Lord, teach me to work for you. I know when it has come to my job or jobs in the past I have focused more on myself and I grew tired and complacent at those Jobs. I would just drag myself through them and just try to get them done and go. Lord, I was selfish, I am asking you Lord for help. Help me find joy in my work. Help me to be able to sing your praises as I work. Teach me to pray to you in my workplace. Teach me to serve you everywhere I go and not just in a few key places.

God wants us to do all things for him. No matter what it is, we are to do it with the mindset that we are doing this to give God honor and glory. How we speak, how we treat others, how we raise our children. How we treat our bosses. Everything with the mentality that we are going to glorify God in this. We also have to establish Goals with that in mind as well. Whether a short-term goal or a long-term goal. Everything we do needs to be to the glory of God above.

Father, thank you for planting me right where I am. Help me to take action on the things you've laid before me with spiritual eyes, seeing them as God-led goals, no matter my assignment. Help everything I do to point back to you—even the times I mess up and fall short. Let Your grace be my banner as I make progress on goals, knowing it's not about perfection, it's about YOU—the author and perfecter of my faith. In Jesus' name. Amen!
