Work At It with All Your Heart
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. – Colossians 3:23-24
A takeaway from “Appreciate Every Minute” is that every moment of diligent and cheerful work carries eternal significance when we recognize that God is working through us. Whether we’re offering our skills in the workplace, guiding a child with loving discipline, or speaking life into a weary spouse, these acts are not just practical—they’re spiritual. They become expressions of faith, channels of grace, and reflections of God’s character in everyday life. When we appreciate the value of each task and each relationship, we begin to see that the true reward isn’t just in outcomes, but in knowing we’ve partnered with the Lord to build, restore, and uplift.
May we live in such a way that we one day hear the voice of the Savior say, “Well done, My good and faithful servant.” Take inspiration from Homesick for Heaven by Phil Wickham. There’s a longing deep within the soul that words can barely touch — a homesickness for heaven, where faith becomes sight and worship never ends. We dream of walking beside Moses on streets paved with gold, hearing the stories firsthand of God’s deliverance. We imagine dancing with David before the throne, hearts overflowing with praise. And above all, we yearn to run—unhindered and unafraid—straight into the arms of the One who has loved us through every valley and storm. This is the hope that anchors us, the promise that pulls us forward: eternity with our Savior, face to face.

Mark Shields, Thanks for reading! This blog started from a small Bible Study group several years ago with just a few followers and now has grown beyond what I would have imagined. I’ve found it to be a great tool in my journey through the Bible and you, my readers are holding me accountable to daily Bible reading and study.
