Read Colossians 1-4
Colossians 3:23 says, "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;" It’s hard to get excited about cleaning the garage. It’s not easy to be enthusiastic about scrubbing the floor. There is little to motivate one to get happy over laundry. Some things you can look forward to doing and others you only do when there is no other choice.
But if you are cleaning the garage because you’re going to have a partying there, it’s not such a trial. If you’re scrubbing the floor because a baby is going to be visiting, you’ve got something to look forward to. If you’re doing laundry because your favorite outfit is dirty and you want to wear it, you’re motivated to finish.
No matter how mundane the chores we need to do are, we can find ways to do our work cheerfully. When we can’t find a good reason in the natural, there is always the Lord to please. We can always work willingly, even heartily when we are doing a job as unto God.
