Eric Liddell, the Olympic runner, famously said, “When I run, I feel God’s pleasure.” This profound statement reveals a beautiful truth about work: when we engage in what God has called us to do, we can experience His delight. This isn’t limited to traditionally ‘spiritual’ work – God takes pleasure in all work done for His glory. Whether you’re coding software, caring for children, or cleaning floors, you can experience the joy of knowing you’re participating in God’s purpose for your life.
Bible Verse
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” – 1 Peter 4:10
Reflection Question
When was the last time you felt God’s pleasure in your work, and what made that moment special?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to sense Your pleasure as I work. Open my heart to experience the joy of serving You in all I do. May I find fulfillment in knowing I’m walking in Your purpose for my life. Amen.
