Daily Prayer - Work ethic

Good Thursday morning, my friends.
 
Do we have the kind of attitude towards work that Paul espouses in Colossians 3:23?
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men
There is a delicate balancing act here, however.  It is all too common for work and accomplishment (and wealth and success) to take too important of a place in our lives.  It can replace God and our family in terms of priority.  But we should be blessing our employers every day with our work effort and ethic.  And that is an area I need to improve upon. Reflect today on your own situation and see if God has something to say on this subject in your life.
 
 
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
 
Bruce
 
Father, we offer up to You our lives as living sacrifices.
 
May we be holy and pleasing to You.
 
In whatever form of work we do may we do so with diligence as unto the Lord.
 
We thank you for the variety of giftings and work skills You give us in regard to vocational work and how we are blessed and provided for. 
 
We honor you as we have a proper view toward work.
 
Amen.
