Colossians 3:23-24
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.
I think it would be easy to read this and then measure our "inheritance" by what we have accomplished. But I don't think God is so interested in what we achieve; I believe God is watching how we live, the decisions we make, and the effort we put into things which show our love for one another. We are not competing against one another. Sometimes we may be "competing" with the forces of evil.
Lord God, I can sense your Holy Spirit at work in me. Help me to stay connected, to work hard, and to compete with anything that might get in the way of my living out your good and perfect will. Amen
