“Whatever your task, put yourself into it, as if you were working for the Lord, not for human masters.” (Colossians 3:23)

Work. It can evoke feelings of duty, exhaustion, or even drudgery. Yet, within the act of work lies a potent source of purpose, growth, and contribution.  We are wired to create, to solve problems, to build.  Humans have toiled for millennia, leaving behind not just products and services, but a legacy of innovation and progress. Every bridge built, every line of code written, every meal served is a testament to the power of human effort.

Through our labour, we not only provide for ourselves and our loved ones, but we also contribute to the greater good. The doctor who heals, the teacher who inspires, the baker who nourishes – they all play a vital role in the intricate tapestry of society.  The world thrives on the collective effort of individuals who bring their unique talents and passions to their work. 

So let us find inspiration in the daily tasks, big and small.  Let us see them as opportunities to build, to serve, and to express the gifts God has given us.  Whether we are fixing a leaky tap, writing a complex software program, or caring for a loved one, our work has the power to make a difference.  Let us approach it with a spirit of dedication and excellence, knowing that we are contributing to something larger than ourselves.
