Work Like Jesus: Unlocking God's Blueprint for WorkSample

Day 2: The Value of Hard Work

Jesus was no stranger to hard work. As a carpenter, He knew the value of diligence and craftsmanship.

And the wonderful truth is that rewards come with our diligence and commitment. Proverbs uses the example of an ant to illustrate the virtues of hard work. If an insect can be diligent, how much more should we be?

Remember, our labor is never in vain when it's done for the Lord. Even when things get challenging, God reminds us not to grow weary in well-doing. A harvest awaits us, and it's worth every bit of effort we put in.

Today, let's commit to giving our best in all we do, not just for the sake of worldly success but for the glory of God.

Father, I thank You for the ability to work and the skills You've given me. Proverbs 14:23 tells us that "all hard work brings a profit," and I want to work diligently, not just to achieve worldly success, but to bring glory to Your name. Remind me that my labor is not in vain when it's done for You, as 1 Corinthians 15:58 assures me.

In Jesus name, Amen.
