When Our Work Becomes Worship
Our work is never to become an idol—that is, writing should never be worshipped. Rather, as writers, we’re to seek the Lord’s favor much like Moses prayed in Psalm 90:17—asking that He establish the work of our hands for us. When we hold up our craft to Him each time we prepare to write, we’re releasing to Him our talents, our gifts. Yes, our words. Only then do we experience the beauty of writing becoming worship, something that’s holy onto the Lord.
