Speaker 2: chapter three, verses twenty three through twenty four from the

28
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 2: King James version. And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily

29
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: as to the Lord, and not unto men, knowing that

30
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 2: of the Lord, ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance.

31
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: For ye serve the Lord Christ. Now take a moment

32
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: to pour out your adoration to God for his goodness. God.

33
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: I praise you, for you are great and mighty. There

34
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: is nothing hidden from your sight all things, and give

35
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: unto each person according to their works. I extol you, Lord,

36
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 2: for you are fair and just. You will not allow

37
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: the righteous to be shaken. I worship you, Jesus, for

38
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: strength and grace come from you alone. I bless your name.

39
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: For all glory, honor, and power are yours. Focus on

40
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: God in this life. Your focus will shape who you

41
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: are and what you do. This is why it is

42
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: so important to understand God's plan and purpose for your life.

43
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: Once you recognize that you were created by God to

44
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: be productive, and you commit your plans unto him, God

45
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: will become your focal point. With God as your focus,

46
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: you will do everything as if doing it unto Him.

47
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: This means that your thoughts and your actions will be

48
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: centered on Christ. When you operate from this mentality, Jesus

49
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: becomes your incentive and your boss. When you live for Jesus,

50
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: his Holy Spirit renews your mind and changes your heart,

51
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: and he transforms you from a reactive person into a

52
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: proactive one. The opinions of others will no longer dictate

53
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: how you behave as your actions will not be based

54
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: on what others do, but rather on what God says

55
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: you should do. You will no longer work to please

56
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: or impress those around you. Instead, everything you do will

57
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: be done to bring glory to God. And when you

58
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: commit your plans unto God and focus on Him, he

59
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: will bless the work of your hands and you will

60
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 2: have productivity. Take a moment to reflect on what is

61
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: hindering you from focusing on God. Present yourself before the

62
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: Lord and confess your sins to Him now. Thank God

63
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: for his care over your life. Thank God for watching

64
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: over you. Thank Him for being present in your life

65
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: and for always being beside you. Thank Jesus for his

66
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: mercy and for his blessings upon your life. Thank Him

67
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: for his goodness and his grace for the reward that

68
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: comes from Him alone. Thank the Holy Spirit for the

69
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: work he is constantly doing within your heart and mind.

70
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: Thank Him for ministering to you and helping you keep

71
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: your focus on God. Do not forget God is present

72

Speaker 2: and he is listening to you. You are working for

73
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: the Lord, and your reward comes from Him. So lift

74
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: your voice in prayer to God and ask him for

75
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: his heavenly help. Help in accomplishing your commitments and responsibilities efficiently.

76
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: Help to have dedication and to be devoted to the

77
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: timely completion of your tasks. Help to have wisdom and

78
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: discernment when dealing with others. Help to stay focused on

79
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: God and not become distracted by others and their actions.

80
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: Help in the form of Godly strength so you may

81
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: persevere in all the goals set before you. Remember your

82
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: focus is to be on God, for you are serving Christ. Therefore,

83
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: In everything you do, do the best work you can.

84
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: Work as if you are working for the Lord and

85
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: not for people. For your reward comes from God. So

86
