The Heart of Work
Introduction
How do you work?
Who do you work for?
A believer does his work diligently for the Lord’s sake in the assurance that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free. God’s credits and rewards are always dependable and always appropriate. An employer may not appreciate or even be aware of the good work done, perhaps because he is indifferent or because someone else takes credit for what is done. But God knows and God rewards. No good thing done in His name and for His glory can pass His notice or fail to receive His blessing.
Who Works for You?
Conclusion
The Lord has lifted the employee to a high position; He has dignified labor. It doesn’t make any difference whether a man is working at a bench or digging a ditch or working in an office or mining down in the bowels of the earth or farming the land on the top of the earth. If he is a child of God, he can say, “I serve the Lord Christ.”
