WORK ENTHUSIASTICALLY
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you have the Lord living in your heart
It will manifest in your entire life
You will be strong and have stability
You also love and work enthusiastically.
When you do things for others as you do for the Lord
You are actually giving him praise, glory and laud
Don’t lose hope in serving him for nothing is useless
You will always reap fruits if you totally believe in Jesus.
________________________________________
There are some whiny and miserable Christians. I used to be one of them. I thank God that he has delivered me from that very negative attitude. I think one of the reasons when I was that way was because I had been mistreated so many times in my life. It became a defense mechanism so that I can protect myself from possible abusers or manipulators. When I lived in poverty in my twenties, God showed me how to be thankful and bring joy to everything I do. Ephesians 6:7 says that we must work with enthusiasm, as though we were working for the Lord rather than for people. Nothing will be useless if we are serving the Lord because he is a promise keeper and he rewards us if we are faithful to serve him.
PRAYER
Lord, remind me to rejoice at whatever I am given in my life.
REFLECTION
What can enthusiasm bring about in your life?

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.    –1 Corinthians 15:58 (NLT)     

WORK ENTHUSIASTICALLY

Press on when you do things for the Lord

It will help you focus on God and be strong

Nothing you do for him will ever be useless

His love, mercy and provision are boundless.

Always work enthusiastically for your creator

It will bring much harvest in your life later

When you view life with a thankful attitude

You will reap wisdom, self-control and fortitude.

Do you serve the Lord with enthusiasm? You do not have to literally serve a church or do faith works to serve the Lord. Your ministry may be your own family, your co-workers, your neighbors or even strangers. Your workplace can be a venue to get people to believe in the Lord by your attitude and demeanor. When you live a life of integrity and honesty, you become a role model to others.

The bible tells us to work enthusiastically for the Lord. Nothing we do for the Lord will be useless, but every work we do that will bring glory to God will be rewarded in the end. It may not be a physical reward, but a spiritual gift or fruit of the spirit.

PRAYER

Lord, keep me joyful while I serve you.

REFLECTION

Why is enthusiasm important in what you say or do?
