Colossians 3:23

🌍God is a obviously a hard worker. He created the Heavens, the Earth and all its inhabitants in 6 days. Pretty impressive, right. 

God also cares about the way we work. In everything we do we need to be such a competent and trusted worker that God is honored.🌍

📖And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;  -Colossians 3:23📖
