Colossians 3:17 " And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."
This is a simple commandment, but very hard to follow. To me this verse is saying: no matter what the task, do it for the LORD. It could be photocopying, typing, cleaning, shredding any mundane or otherwise meaningless task. You should do them "all in the name of the Lord Jesus". The Bible also tells us in Colossians 3:23, "And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;". Our lives are for GOD and not to please men. It is GOD who gives us our reward. Colossians 3:24 " Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." We serve GOD and not man. Thank you Lord Jesus for sharing this with me and allowing me to share it with others. Let us pray for each other, so that we may condition ourselves to follow this simple commandment.
