1 Thessalonians 3:13:

“As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.”

Spurgeon helps us to see that the calling and vocation the Lord has placed us in glorifies Him as carry them out in excellence and with joy:

“First, then, brethren, our text contains a summary of the Christian life. It is ‘well doing.’ This is all you have to do — you that have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus and renewed in the spirit of your minds. You have to spend your lives in Well doing.

     Now this is a very comprehensive term, and we are certain that it includes the common acts of daily life...well doing consists in taking down the shutters and selling your goods; tucking up your shirt sleeves and doing a good day’s work; sweeping the carpets and dusting the chairs, if you happen to be a domestic servant. Well doing is attending to the duties that arise out of our relationships in life — attending carefully to them, and seeing that in nothing we are eye-servers and men-pleasers, but in everything are seeking to serve God.

…Even the most menial of the farms of service — even the commonest actions of life — if they be done as unto the Lord, are cleansed and become holy things, and are by no means to be despised.

‘Well doing’ means that I love the Lord my God with all my heart, — that I commune with him, — that I dedicate myself to him and give all that I have to the extension of his kingdom and to the honouring of his glorious name.

 …Everything is well doing that is done in obedience to the divine command. If thou hast God’s word for it, it is well doing. Some may call thee imprudent, but it is well doing if thou doest what God bids thee, and it is prudent doing too. In the long run thou shalt find it so. When God says, ‘Do this,’ let it be done at once; that is well doing...Let not thine own wisdom and prudence ever fly in the teeth of a positive command of God. When thou art doing what God bids thee, thou art doing well, and thou needest have no difficulty in defending thyself. God will not suffer that man ever to be confounded who makes the will of God to be the law of his life. So may it always be with us.”
