DAY 272:

“The Bible tells us to do, whatever we do, heartily unto the Lord…

‘And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men,’ (Colossians 3:23).

Sadly, in this day, most people are more concerned with doing what they do, unto themselves or for people who they want to impress, for their own gain. Which leads me to the point that God also tells us to treat people the way we want to be treated. So, when we go through the motions with people and do the bear minimum of what we know is more pleasing to God, we are not doing it unto Him, but to ourselves.

Have you ever worked for a company and only did enough to make it “look” like you were doing all of your work, but inside, you knew more was required of you? Maybe you worked with children and gave them less than your best, because you thought they would not know the difference? Perhaps you have worked with people that were not as talented as you or as productive, and you slowed your pace to fit in, rather than doing your best to be set apart?

Many Christians are deceived by the outward appearance of works and fail to see the inner motive of the heart.. Precious friends, God is focused on your heart and looks to find people with hearts that are not deceived by their works but are purified by developing a heart after His.. It is time to come out of the deception and genuinely do all you do as unto the Lord! Remember, when you do what pleases you, you’re still a “people pleaser,” instead of being a God pleaser.. God never gives His less to you.. He always gives His best! You were created in His image and likeness to do the same.. and you can.. in Jesus’ name..!”
