Here is a great verse to make you smile when you are faced with your least favourite household chore: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 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).

Or as D L Moody reminds us: “Serve God by doing common actions in a heavenly spirit.” D L Moody

As we reflect on Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath, we are reminded that life is not measured by how busy we are, but by what truly endures. C. T. Studd captures that eternal perspective in these well-known words:

“Only one life, ’twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.”

We all have bad days, weeks or even months but when life feels broken, plans unravel, or mistakes leave us wondering what comes next, we’re reminded that God is still at work — even in the mess.

“Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God’s plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins.”
— Eric Liddell

God’s Kingdom doesn’t always come with noise and headlines — but like a seed in the soil, it grows with quiet power and certain purpose.

“The beginnings of grace are small, but the end is glorious. The seed may be buried beneath the soil, but it is not lost — it will bring forth fruit in due season.” — Charles Spurgeon

As Jesus began His ministry, the crowds were astonished — not just by His words, but by His power to heal and set people free. His authority still restores today. So, this week, if you are suffering, be inspired by this quote from Billy Graham and take your problems to the Lord.

“Jesus Christ is the greatest physician. He heals not only the body, but the soul. He offers eternal healing.”
— Billy Graham
