Jeremiah in chapter 48, verse 10.

Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord with slackness.

Huh, what a verse.

And this is just the first part of this verse but just let this soak in cursed is he

who does the lord's work the work of the lord with slackness with laziness or with a casual approach to

it and you think about it this is like the exact opposite of what we're commanded

to do in the New Testament. Remember Colossians chapter 3, verse 23, whatever you do work

heartily as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance

as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. So when you hear the work of the Lord don't think,

oh, okay, yeah, that's what pastors do or that's what certain people do at certain times. No,

like the work of the Lord is, is all work. do colosians 323 says work with all your heart

because you're working for the Lord you're not working for men like the reality is yes you may have

an employer you may have a boss you may have a teacher but the reality is you're not working

ultimately for them you are ultimately working for the, but the realities you're not working ultimately for them.

You are ultimately working for the Lord.

That's who you're working for.

So work with all your heart.

In a 1st Corinthians 10, 31 kind of way, whatever you do, work for the glory of God in the work that you do. So let that transform the way you view whatever work

you do today, whatever work you do this week, from a job to work around the house to school,

to whatever it might be. Work heartily because you know you're ultimately working for the Lord,

like your eyes are fixed on him and not to be clear working to earn God's favor or earn God's
