Viewpoint: Work is Worship

CBMC Belfast sees work as worship because that is how it is described in the Bible. Often we use the word work to refer to what we do in the workplace, and use worship to describe what we do at church.
The Bible however used the word ‘avodah’ to jointly mean work, worship and service. Depending on the context the same root word ‘advodah’ is translated differently.

“Six days you shall work (avodah).” – Exodus 34:21

“Then man goes out to his work (avodah), to his labour until evening.” – Psalm 104:23

“This is what the LORD says: Let my people go, so that they may worship (avodah) me.” – Exodus 8:1

This short video below from Rightnow Media has a simple message but gets it across in really powerful way.
Bless you on all that you do this week, we pray that you will see it as an act of worship!
