Work as Worship
Faith in your daily grind.
Bringing God into ordinary work.
The big idea
Whatever your work, you can do it as if God were your boss — because he is.
What does “Work as Worship” walk through?
Your Own Work
Galatians 6:4 · KJV
But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
In plain English
Pay attention to your own life. Then your sense of accomplishment will come from what you've done — not from comparing yourself to others.
Run Your Race
Stop comparing your work to others'. Be faithful with what's yours.
A Time to Work
Ecclesiastes 3:1 · KJV
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
In plain English
Everything has a season. Each part of life has its proper time.
Ordinary Faithfulness
Most of life is ordinary work. God meets you there, not just on Sundays.
Pray
Lord, let me work today as worship to you. Amen.

Which passages does this journey use?
2 passages, drawn from Galatians 6:4, Ecclesiastes 3:1. Every verse appears here in the King James text with a plain-English line beside it, so you can read it without a commentary open. Allow about 5 minutes for the whole thing, or 5 short sittings.
- Galatians 6:4
- Ecclesiastes 3:1
Read any of these in full on the complete KJV, or look the wording up independently at Blue Letter Bible.
