Working as unto the Lord

When we work we should work as unto the Lord we should not work to satisfy ourselves or even an employer. If what we spend our time doing is chasing after worldly treasures we are missing out on our true purpose in life. Life is more important than chasing after money, fame, or social position. Spending our energy on things of this world saps our energy for doing the things of the Lord. What kind of things are things of the Lord? Praying for others, caring for others, helping others. What does this look like? There is no one way for this to look and everyone will have to find their own way. No matter your occupation or the activity you are doing you need to work as unto God. The important part is that each person finds the calling on their life and then works to fulfill it. No matter what occupation you find yourself in you need to figure out how to serve others and minister to the Lord through your work. If you are not employed outside the home, you can serve your neighbors, you can volunteer for your community, or if you have family or kids to care for them with all you have in you. Work hard at doing your best to serve those around you.
