Grateful for the Work Before Me

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV)

Work can feel routine—same tasks, same pace, same responsibilities. But even in the ordinary rhythm of our jobs, gratitude has a way of opening our eyes. When we thank God for the work before us, our job becomes more than just a task. It becomes something we get to do, not just something we have to do.

A job provides stability, purpose, and a place to use the gifts God has given us. It’s one of the quiet ways He cares for us day after day. And when we approach our work with a thankful heart, even the routine moments become meaningful. Gratitude doesn’t change the tasks—but it changes the spirit with which we do them.
Today, let’s simply thank God for the work in our hands and the strength He gives to do it.

Father, thank You for the job You’ve provided and the daily strength to do it. Help me approach my work with gratitude, purpose, and a heart that honors You in the small things. Guide my attitude, steady my steps, and let Your presence shape my day. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
