Open Daily Verse Read in context

Paul gives ordinary work lasting dignity by directing it toward Christ rather than human approval. Faithful labor matters because the true Master sees both the task and the heart offered through it.

Today's prayer

Lord Christ, help me work sincerely for You whether or not anyone approves. Form integrity, justice, rest, and proper care for workers.
