How do we know God can be glorified in all types of work?

Answered in 1 source

God can be glorified in all types of work as every lawful trade can be sanctified by the gospel.

The assurance that God can be glorified in all work stems from the biblical principle that every profession can be used for divine purposes. In 1 Corinthians 7:20, Paul instructs believers to remain in their calling, which indicates that God’s glory is not limited to church roles or religious positions. Spurgeon illustrates this by reminding us that occupations such as carpentry or farming are not merely mundane tasks; they can be avenues through which God's character and love are displayed in the world.

Furthermore, history and Scripture highlight individuals who, while engaged in everyday labor, exhibited profound faith and devotion to God. For example, figures like Joseph and David were not always in official religious positions but were critical in God’s plan despite their vocational roles. Thus, we can take comfort in knowing that when we pursue our callings with zeal and faithfulness, we actively participate in God's work and bring Him glory in every aspect of life.
