Today I'm focusing on the Hebrew word, "avad." The Hebrew word "avad" means "to serve." However, not only does it mean "to serve", it also can mean "to work" and "to worship." So what exactly does this mean for us?
Colossians 3:23-24 says, "Whatever you do, work at it from the soul, as for the Lord and not for people. For you know that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as a reward. It is to the Lord Messiah you are giving service."
Our work and worship of our Creator should go hand in hand. We shouldn't separate worship on Sunday morning from our day to day lives. Our entire lives should be focused on worshiping Yeshua, everything we do should be an act of worship to our Creator.
