In Day 20 of the Rooted & Rising series, we dive into Colossians 3:23-24, a scripture that calls us to approach every task with excellence, as though working for the Lord. In this 25-minute episode, we unpack the deeper meaning behind "working heartily," explore why this mindset honors God, and share practical steps to integrate excellence into your daily life.
This episode also includes:
Affirmation: "I dedicate my work to the Lord, striving for excellence in all that I do. My efforts are an act of worship, and I trust that God will use them for His glory and my growth."
Reflection Questions:
What areas of your life could benefit from a mindset shift toward working "as for the Lord"?
How can you ensure your pursuit of excellence remains healthy and doesn’t lead to perfectionism or burnout?
Think of a task or project you’ve worked on recently. How would it have felt different if you approached it as worship to God?
Reflection Assignment:
Identify one task or responsibility you’ve been approaching with a half-hearted attitude.
Dedicate it to God through prayer, and commit to giving it your best effort.
At the end of the week, reflect on how this shift in mindset affected your work and your heart.
Prayer for Commitment to Excellence:
"Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder that all we do is ultimately for You. Help us to work heartily and with excellence, not for human approval but as an act of worship. Teach us to balance diligence with rest, to pursue growth without perfectionism, and to honor You in every task. Strengthen our hands and renew our spirits as we commit to serving You in all we do. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
