Devotional
God’s first recorded work in Scripture was bringing order out of chaos. This pattern reveals something fundamental about the nature of work itself. Whether we’re organizing data, teaching students, healing patients, or cleaning homes, we’re participating in God’s ongoing work of bringing order to chaos. This perspective elevates even the most mundane tasks to acts of divine partnership. Every job, when done with excellence and the right heart, can reflect God’s creative and ordering nature.
Bible Verse
“Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.” – 1 Corinthians 12:1
Reflection Question
How does your work bring order out of chaos, and how might seeing this connection to God’s work change your approach to daily tasks?
Quote “The very baseline of a theology for work, according to Scripture, is this: work is my calling from God, where, following his example, I strive to bring order out of chaos, such that I can look at my work and say, this is good.”
Prayer
Creator God, help me see how my work reflects Your nature of bringing order from chaos. Give me Your perspective on the tasks before me today, that I might work with purpose and joy. Amen.
