Whatever

I am beginning to understand that God is a lot less concerned in WHAT I do, and more invested in HOW I do it. I spend time poring over the specifics of scenario after scenario with Him; Is this the right path Lord? Is this the right school? Is this the right decision about this job? Is this the position I should take on? Embedded within each question is the fear that “And if it isn’t, what then?” Rather than reflecting so much on the "what" I am doing, I'd like to shift my focus to the "for whom."
“Whatever you do, work at it with your whole-heart, as if serving the Lord and not men.” Colossians 3:23. Whatever. I find this instruction both challenging and liberating. God is not as “hung up” as I am on the specific assignments. Indeed, He can and will use all of it for His purposes and His glory. What blesses His heart is for me to do each thing, no matter how small, whole-heartedly, as an offering to Him. This infuses the most mundane and repetitive tasks with purpose and even the possibility of joy.
