Most of us wake up each morning with a full agenda ahead of us. We call this “work,” and often complain about it.
But God gave us work (The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
Genesis 2:15 New International Version)
Because God Himself works (But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now [He has never ceased working], and I too am working.” John 5:17 Amplified Bible)
Six Ways God Works in You — at Work (from article at Desiring God website)
God uses your workplace to focus:
Your Faith (… whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31b NIV)
Your Heart (Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters … Colossians 3:23 NIV)
Your Hands (So then, my friends, because of God’s great mercy to us I appeal to you: Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer. Romans 12:1 Good News Translation)
Your Love (Everyone will know you as My followers if you demonstrate your love to others. John 13:35 The Voice)
Your Mind (Do not allow this world to mold you in its own image. Instead, be transformed from the inside out by renewing your mind. As a result, you will be able to discern what God wills and whatever God finds good, pleasing, and complete. Romans 12:2 The Voice)
Your Witness (Quietly trust yourself to Christ your Lord, and if anybody asks why you believe as you do, be ready to tell him, and do it in a gentle and respectful way. 1 Peter 3:15 Living Bible)
Remember, God longs to bless you – and your work!
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;
establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 90:17 New International Version
