Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. — Colossians 3:24 KJV
Since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. — Colossians 3:24 NIV
Every action, every effort, and every aspect of our life can be an act of worship towards God. It’s a profound reminder that our daily work, whether it’s part of our jobs, our service in the community, or even the mundane tasks at home, holds eternal significance when done in service to Christ.
This perspective shifts how we approach our daily life. Instead of seeking validation or reward from others or measuring our worth by worldly standards, we are encouraged to focus on serving Christ in everything we do. It’s about finding joy and purpose in the mundane, knowing that God values faithfulness in the small things as much as the big achievements.
My Prayer
Thank You, Lord, for the promise of an inheritance that far surpasses anything this world can offer. Help me to hold onto this promise, especially in moments of discouragement or when I feel unseen. Remind me that You see every effort, every sacrifice, and every act of kindness done in Your name.
Guide me, Lord, to serve You faithfully, to reflect Your love, and to glorify You in all that I do. May my life be a testament to the grace and mercy You have shown me, and may I always remember that it is the Lord Christ I am serving.
In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.
