God's Work

"[Work] is, or should be, the full expression of the worker's faculties, the thing in which he finds spiritual, mental and bodily satisfaction, and the medium in which he offers himself to God." -Dorothy Lee Sayers

God doesn't need our things. But He ordains our work and endows us with creativity and talent. He designed us to be busy about the business of doing things for Him, of making all kinds of things that reflect His regenerating grace and that glorify Him.

In what beautiful enterprise might God be directing you to be involved? It could be people or projects, aptitudes or art. You may have the ability to create something that reveals and reflects some of His greatness. If so, ask Him to provide the resources. Find the helpers and materials needed to accomplish the goal. Go ahead and enjoy the process and the fruit of your labor, like Solomon did. But give fairly and generously to the author of your gifts and talents. Do a God-sized work for Him.
