With God and for God - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2025

Let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called.
1 Corinthians 7:24

With God and for God
What is the right attitude towards work? How should the Christian perform his daily duties? The Apostle Paul provides an answer to this in today’s verse: “Let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called.” It’s about living your daily life with God and being connected to Him in all that needs to be done. Whatever your occupation is, remain with God in it!

This will create a positive attitude towards your daily work. Instead of sighing over what may be a boring and monotonous activity, you can carry it out in communion with God. Your daily life thus becomes an opportunity to serve and honour your God.

In Ephesians 6:5–7 we read, “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men.”

Think of the Lord Jesus who worked as a carpenter for many years. Do you think He practised His trade carelessly or grudgingly? Do you think He never had to do boring or tedious work? Was He unhappy in it? No, certainly not! He did the will of His God and Father from His heart, even in His daily duties.
