The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Colossians 3:23-25, “Whatever you do, do your work heartily,

as for the Lord rather than for men, 24knowing that from the Lord

you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ

whom you serve. 25For he who does wrong will receive the

consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without

partiality.”

There’s an old saying that goes, “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth

doing well.” Paul goes a bit further with his admonition. He says,

“Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the LORD…”

It’s not always easy to do some things breathlessly (???? psuche).

Yet, those things given us to do, and the strength with which to do

them, come from the LORD. In the end –whether we see the end

or not—we will be rewarded for how we undertake the tasks He

gives us. Of course, we have the option of disobeying the LORD;

but disobedience carries heavy consequences. The LORD does

not play favorites. So, those tasks that lay before us are not only

worth doing, our LORD is worth their doing; so do them with all

your heart!

May the LORD bless each of you in doing today’s tasks,
