Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.

?What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and work flow.

?What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing the value and sanctity of everyday actions within one's own home. It suggests that these actions hold the same significance as if they were being done for God himself. The focus is not solely on the duties and responsibilities, but rather on the underlying principles of faith and love that guide these actions. By viewing our positions and tasks through this lens, we can find fulfillment and purpose in even the mundane aspects of life, recognizing that our obedience and work are grounded in a higher spiritual connection.
