Whatever we do. That pretty much covers everything. No matter what it is. When we speak or act, we are instructed to do so heartily (v.23) and in His name. Acknowledging His name causes us to remember who we are.
We are dependents on Him and without Him we can do nothing (Jn. 15:5). A dependent humbly and rightfully recognizes the source of all he has and is.
We are also representatives of Him and we carry His authority and His power (Eph. 3:20). That power, in us, enables Him to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think. He has equipped us to do mighty things (Dan. 11:32)! To say or do something halfheartedly is to diminish the fullness of His power that resides in us and can work through us. An effective representative heartily utilizes all the authority and power given to him. Our aim is to glorify (1Cor. 10:31) and please God with our lives. Each new day presents us with unique opportunities to give thanks and glory to the Father by our words and actions in the name of His amazing Son. Knowing that we serve Him (Col. 3:24) should cause us to do so humbly, as a dependent, with nothing less than our best effort and heartily, as a representative, in the fullness of His power. Whatever we do!
Sock Monkey Snippet: Serve Him humbly and heartily every day in whatever you do.
