Scripture of the Day

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
— Colossians 3:17 (ESV)

It doesn’t get much plainer than that.

Whatever you do.
In word or deed.
Do everything in the name of Jesus.

Paul doesn’t carve life into categories — church stuff and regular stuff, sacred and ordinary. To him, it’s all the same. Every word, every task, every small responsibility falls under Christ’s Lordship.

That changes how we live.

It means the way you speak to your spouse matters. The way you treat the cashier matters. The attitude you bring to work matters. Even the quiet, unnoticed things — stacking chairs, washing dishes, making one more phone call, saying one more prayer — matter.

Because we’re not just getting things done. We’re representing Jesus.

And notice something else: gratitude. “Giving thanks.” Not grumbling. Not keeping score. Gratitude.

When our hearts are thankful and our actions are done in His name, even the smallest task becomes an act of worship.

Turns out, there really aren’t any little things.

There’s just faithfulness.

Walk in faith, rest in grace, and trust the One who walks beside you.
In His love and grace,
