GÉNESIS 41:51

In this reading plan, we’ll study the life of Hannah More—perhaps the most important writer you’ve never heard of. She used her unique gifts to find a better way to create meaningful change for the Kingdom, which eventually led to the abolition of slavery in the British empire.

Life is hard, but events like war, famine, and pandemics are extra scary. It may seem like no one is strong, but God is always willing and able to take care of those who come to Him. In this Study, you'll read about Joseph, a man who faced such challenges and made mistakes, but learned to run to God and found Peace. You’re never alone.

This 4-day plan provides a theological foundation for the importance of doing excellent work and offers practical steps to consistently point people to God through how you work. Excellence is not perfection. A longtime Workmatters advocate says, “Excellence is maximizing our capability for a given assignment. Perfection is the endless pursuit of a false ideal.” Excellence is often lived out in small, ordinary moments—being prompt and prepared, sharpening our skills, prayerful planning, and setting clear priorities. Excellent work reflects how we think about God, serve others in love, and build credibility for sharing our faith in everyday life.
