Listen to the Word

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." 

(Colossians 3:17)


We tend to separate our lives into compartments of "sacred" and "secular."  We would say that praying is sacred, but mowing the grass is secular.  Reading the Bible is sacred, but reading a chemistry textbook is secular.  Colossians 3:17 obliterates that distinction.  It tells us that every moment can be sacred time.  "Whatever you do" can be done in Jesus' name.  Even the most ordinary, mundane task can become something you do for Christ's sake.  Your daily work can become an act of worship.  Your daily tasks can be done in partnership with him.


Live the Word

What is your next task for the day?  Make an effort to do that task "in the name of the Lord Jesus."  Do it as he would do it if he were in your place.  Do it for him, and realize that he is with you as you go.
