School Daze

College has officially started, I am sure for many of us. No one wants to lose their summer sleep in days and lazy afternoons, but the way I look at it is: you're that much closer to graduation and your career.  For me starting school is somewhat exciting, but that wears by the second class or so. 
So, for all of us starting this rut of school here's a little verse that keeps me going: 
Colossians 3:23

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.

This is a very inspirational and eye opening verse for me. I have always had trouble (and still do) putting school before God, but this verse reminds me that that's not why we are here. We are here by God to do his work, and bring glory to him, and another little conviction for you: Matthew 6:19 and 20 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."
The works we do for this world are wasted and will die when we do (sorry to be so morbid) but the works we do for God are stored up in heaven and they bring glory to our Father. 

So to all of you who have started or will be starting school soon, and even at work, remember Colossians. Shine light on your campus and in your office, and work for the Kingdom not the world.
Best of luck to you.

Song of the day:
Blessed
