This week’s Devotional Topic
Work
The bible is filled with “Work”. Within its pages we find good work and bad… selfish and selfless work. We are told to work for the time will come when we can work no more.
God sees all that we do so we should do good work. We should work for the glory of God not for the applause of man. You may have heard the quote that we “perform for an audience of One”. One day all of our works will be tried as if by fire. All that has been done in the flesh will be burned up. Only what has been done for His glory will be recognized. Just as John tells us in the book of Revelation: “…on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward.”
And we are saved from the penalty of sin and eternal damnation by God’s grace, not our works. Salvation is a gift of God, not of works so that anyone could boast. We work to honor and glorify our savior and creator. He is the one who gives us the strength to overcome our flesh and the evil around us so that we can do good. In our flesh dwells “no good thing”. Thank God for every opportunity to do good. Just do it!
