Grunt work - Menial tasks - Drudgery - Grubby work
What is the most menial task in your list of responsibilities?
- The thing you hate to do but must
- The thing you put off doing until the last possible minute
Click the link below to read how Jesus taught important concepts to his disciples by performing a task usually done by the lowliest servant in a first century Jewish home.
Service is love in working clothes
Few of us are called to greatness but all of us can perform lowly tasks with humility and a sense of purpose.
(Try applying this verse to the task(s) you consider the most menial.)"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." (Colossians 3: 23-24) NIV
The commonplace becomes spiritual if done in the love of God
Grunt work & drudgery become humble and self-less service
The ultimate gift of selfless love came soon after Jesus' foot-washing example: God gave his only child to die on the cross to redeem the sins of mankind.
The ultimate Gift!
