Words of Worship

Every once in a while I'll get an article or story or something across my desk that just makes me stop and say, "Wow! That nailed it..."
Here's one of those items. It's from William Barclay and his writing on The Revelation of John (Vol. 1)

"The humblest and the most unseen activity in the world can be the true worship of God. Work and worship literally become one. Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever; and man carries out that function when he does what God sent him into the world to do. Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in the classroom, the musician at their music, the artist at the canvas, the shop assistant at the counter, the typist at their desk, the housewife in her kitchen - all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship."

Colossians 3:23 - "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men."

May our lives reflect the God we serve and live for daily!

See ya in church...
