- Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
We are God’s workmanship, and we have been created to do good works that God planned out for us in advance.
These are not good works that we perform for salvation. These are good works that we complete so others will be persuaded to receive salvation.
After the New Testament church received the Great Commission, they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them (Mark 16:20-21). They took the Gospel into their homes, streets, and workplaces. They told friends, neighbors, strangers, and enemies what Jesus had done. And they turned the world upside down!
The Lord still works with us. When we do what He commanded us to do, He rewards us with His presence and power to accomplish His will. If we dedicate our homes to God, He will use them for His purposes. People will come in and experience the light and love of Jesus and will leave with the peace of God.
If we dedicate our businesses to God, His unlimited resources become available to us. When our mission statement is His, He will open doors of opportunity and increase. When we are about God’s business, He partners with us. Let’s get to work so others will take notice and glorify our Heavenly Father!
Blessing:
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May you commit to do the good works that God has in store for you! Partner with Him to fulfill His purposes and bring glory to Him.
