byWorking with all your heart is more than just fulfilling your daily responsibilities; it is about serving God in everything you do. Colossians 3:23 instructs us to work as if we are working for the Lord, not for human masters. This scripture reminds us that no matter the type of work we are doing—whether it’s something we love or simply a job we do to earn a living—God wants us to put our whole heart into it. When we approach our work with this mindset, we honour God, and we will find fulfilment even in tasks we may not naturally enjoy.
Serve God in your job or work
There is a distinction between your job and your work. A job is something you do for an income, while your work is often connected to your calling or divine purpose. Even if you are not working in a job related to your calling, you can still serve God by dedicating your efforts to Him. When you apply your heart entirely to your job, you are not only doing your best for your employer or yourself but also honouring God. In every role, whether you are being closely watched or working with little supervision, do not perform your tasks carelessly. Instead, serve God through excellence in your work. Believers are called to uphold integrity and diligence, reflecting the behaviour of Christ in whatever action they take.

Apply diligence in all you do
Diligence is the careful and persistent effort in everything you do. Proverbs 22:29 tells us that diligent workers will stand before kings. In other words, hard work, done well, leads to success and recognition. Diligence means doing your best even when no one is looking, which is a quality that God values highly. By being diligent in every task assigned to you, whether at work, in ministry, or personal responsibilities, you are displaying a heart committed to excellence. Scripture encourages us to be diligent not only in our spiritual calling but also in our everyday work, as it shows our faithfulness to God. When we are diligent, we show that we are trustworthy and dependable, and we glorify God through the quality of our work.
The way to fulfilling your destiny is filled with opportunities for growth, but it also needs perseverance from your end.
Finally, keep progress in mind
As you strive to work with all your heart and apply diligence, taking time to assess your progress is essential. Whether in your job, personal goals, or spiritual journey, reflecting on your achievements helps you stay on course. Taking inventory of your work enables you to understand where you are growing and where improvements are needed. Be firm in your commitment to both your job and spiritual walk. The way to fulfilling your destiny is filled with opportunities for growth, but it also needs perseverance from your end. By keeping a diligent and God-centered mindset, you will see the fruit of your labour, both in your work and in your relationship with God.
