Thoughts for the Month
2 March God at work
Genesis 1 God chooses to work (creation, providence, salvation, protection) and takes pleasure in it
9 March Created to work
Genesis 1:26-31; 2: 8-15 We have been created to work and it is part of God’s plan for us. It can sometimes be exhausting, physically and mentally, but it should be a good thing
16 March Work as worship
Joshua 24:14-28; Exodus 8:1 and 12:31-32 We do all our work for God and in that way work is one of the ways in which we worship. The Old Testament is written in Hebrew that uses the same word for worship as for work (Exodus 8)
23 March Work and relationships
Exodus 35:30-36:5; 1 Peter 2:11-24 In our work we often have to work with colleagues and we have the opportunity to build relationships in which our lives show the difference Christ makes in our lives.
30 March Work … and a time to rest
Exodus 31:12-18; Nehemiah 10:28-33; 13:15-22 God has established a pattern of work, that includes one day rest each week. The rest day is a gift and a blessing. It is an opportunity to trust God.
