"The 'layman' need never think of his humbler task as
being inferior to that of his minister. Let every man abide in the calling
wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the
ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred
or secular, it is why he does it. The motive is everything. Let a man sanctify
the Lord God in his heart and he can thereafter do no common act. All he does
is good and acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For such a man, living
itself will be sacramental and the whole world a sanctuary. His entire life
will be a priestly ministration. As he performs his never so simple task he will
hear the voice of the seraphim saying, 'Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts:
the whole earth is full of His glory.'" AW Tozer
All work is worship and all worship serves the purposes of God. If our work glorifies God through an attitude of worship, it serves the mission of God. Our work serves the mission of God when done for the glory of God. What are you working for today?
