Hello . Hands!
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people, NLT, Colossians 3:23.
What about those hands?
We are Jesus' hands, you know. We accomplish the will of God when our hands do as the Lord commands. What will is that? Well, there's morality and a command to work in the world as our Lord would do.
If we don't, who will?
There's no one to do the Lord's work but Christians, and that means we are the ones responsible for working His will. We don't expect sinners to do the Lord's bidding and we don't see the lost doing so. Therefore if we aren't doing His work, then who is?
If our hands are busy with the gospel, the gospel is shared.
Souls are saved when someone hands the gospel to them. The gospel is very handy to have as it allows folks to enter heaven. On the one hand, the gospel is given, and on the other hand, saints are edified. You know, the Lord has no hands but our hands to do His work today, to lead men in the way.Tip: Work while we have light, Jesus our Savior.O Father, how we live before You! You make the day, the night, what we call time, and opportunities to serve You. Our Lord is at Your right hand, ruling the nations. He directs our work, our actions, our lives. We live to serve You, O God. Our next breath is dependent upon You. Our gratitude at such is ever-growing. The more we know You, Father, the more we love You. May we understand the work before us, may we be busy in the kingdom. In Your Son's name, amen.
