Being diligent and obedient to God's commandments, guarding your heart, and ensuring your actions are motivated by genuine faith and love, rather than to seek human approval, are ways of taking care in whatever you are doing, to harm no one (Deut. 8:11-14, Prov. 4:23, Matt. 6:1). Believers are to focus on living out the teachings received, to be the best ambassadors of the Word of God, which they constantly proclaim, even as they work heartily for the LORD, who offers everlasting rewards (1 Tim. 4:16, 2 John 1:8).
Furthermore, "whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men," so that you may glorify the Father and not merely receive the praise of men, which can be deceptive (1 Cor. 15:58; Col. 3:23-24).
PRAYER: Heavenly Father and Omnipresent God, thank You for helping take care of me and all I do, for my good and Your glory. Bless Your Holy Name; for with the presence of the Holy Spirit, whom you bestowed on me, I can act rightly, as Jesus' Bride,
Amen.
From Acts 22:26
