CUP OF COMFORT: Working for God’s Glory

“Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”

Colossians 3:23

• A hostess met us at the restaurant door. I recognized her immediately, even though it had been thirty years since I’d last seen her. She didn’t recognize me, though, so I reintroduced myself. She suddenly looked embarrassed. “I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up,” she laughed. Obviously, she wasn’t happy with her occupation. It appeared that she felt bad about being a restaurant hostess in her middle forties. I felt sad for her, not because of how she made a living, but because of how she viewed her position in life. I prayed for her often after that meeting—not so much that God would move her to another position, but that He’d help her see value in every form of honest work. For when we do our daily tasks to the best of our abilities, God is honored. Work cheerfully today—it is a privilege to do so.
