Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for the Lord and not for your masters, since you know that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you serve the Lord Christ.

Ephesians 6: 7-8 Render service with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not to men and women, knowing that whatever good we do, we will receive the same again from the Lord…

I will make Israel like a proverb. Even the demons believe. Peter remembers. We know that it’s not enough just to have faith, it must be supported by action. But if our faith is distorted, our actions will be distorted as well. We tend to follow what comes from the heart and natural emotions like fear, anger and pain can quickly become our enemy rising from within. Gracious God, by grace you call us into your faith encourage and support the Gospel. In those difficult times, help us to remember who we are that we may walk forever as subjects of your Love.
