Whatever You Do

Colossians 3:23

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” The standard is not the approval of the audience or the competition. It is the knowledge that the work is offered to Christ. Excellence becomes an act of stewardship rather than a demand for recognition.
