Our Holy Working
There are ways we can discipline ourselves to see our work through God’s eyes. One of those is Holy working, which is virtuous working with a focus on personal moral transformation and training in godliness. It emphasises a deeply moral life—purity—a way of living which stands out from the world around.
There is a focus on sanctification, that we are being transformed into the people we were meant to be, and that the fruit of our lives might be the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22–23): love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
In many ways, work is the perfect context to develop such fruit. It is where we are often most tested in terms of our patience, gentleness, faithfulness to God and self-control. We should be praying for ways to express love, make peace, celebrate joy, be kind and do good.
How can you cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in your everyday working?

About this Plan
Work takes up the majority of our waking hours; it is the most significant activity in our lives. This makes sense if we look through Genesis 1–2 and see that work is the first command we receive from God. We were created to work with God in stewarding his creation. In this series we will look at different dimensions of our work in light of God’s word.
