There are 4 practices that will make what you do today rewarding.
Whether it is your work, study or anything you do at home or outside your home. If you incorporate these 4 practices, everything you do this day will be so rewarding.
Work heartily.
- Whatever you do, do it in the most truthful way.
- Show enthusiasm just as if you were doing it for yourself. And do it with one heart and eagerness.
It all comes down to the golden rule: “do to others what you want them to do to you. (Matthew 7: 12 or Luke 6: 31).
This applies to your every word you say and action you take. Let the golden rule be the guiding principle for the way you think about people.
Do it as if you were doing it for the Lord.
Keep in mind that whatever you do to people, it is to Jesus you’re doing it. And one day, you will give an account of how you will have treated people in your life.
There is a reward for everything you do.
What you sow is what you’re going to reap. (Galatians 6:7) That is kind of life. What we do today is likely to come back to us in one way or another.
You are serving the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Those who treat people with love and grace do it to Jesus.
- Jesus calls them faithful and good servants. So, what you do in life is a means of serving Christ.
- You are a servant of Jesus in the eyes of God.
- Doing good to people where you may be is a sign of being good and faithful to Jesus. (Matthew 25: 23)
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24 ESV.
