A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband trusteth in her, And he shall have no lack of gain. She doeth him good and not evil All the days of her life. She seeketh wool and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchant-ships; She bringeth her bread from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth food to her household, And their task to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it; With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, And maketh strong her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is profitable; Her lamp goeth not out by night.

When God’s people fall and need a helping hand, our Saviour is quick to respond and set them on their feet again. A word of encouragement, a moments time, and a heart of love and compassion are the key ingredients for a healing balm. We are called to be faithful, not judgemental. Let us be merciful, for we too have received mercy.
Common sense might suggest that God couldn’t possibly care about the five loads of washing you have to do, the email you need to respond to, or the burst pipe you’re about to fix. But what if He does? In this plan, Mark Greene explores what the Bible says about why your work – paid or unpaid, in an office, in a factory, or at home – really matters to God.
