The Strength of Gentleness
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.—Matthew 5:5 (ESV)
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.—Colossians 3:23 (NIV)
Many people make a big mistake by dreading their work and thinking of it as a period of time they must suffer through. The truth is, work is a blessing. No matter what job you hold, your contribution is necessary and worthwhile. Work can be a source of satisfaction and strength…when you let it.
Dear Lord, help me to recognize the power of work—and to see my job as the blessing it really is.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.—Matthew 5:5 (ESV)

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.—Hebrews 10:24 (ESV)

The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body.—James 3:6 (NIV)
