You Can Do THIS!
For many of those reading here, this will be the first work day of the week. Some love their jobs. Some not so much. Here is what I know – we decide. I am not suggesting that there are not challenging situations for people in their work environment. I am suggesting that that is not who we really work for if we are believers. We work for our Father, and He loves us.
Ephesians 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
Not only do we work for Him, who knows if perhaps we are there for a reason, whether we like the job or not. We can shine the light of God for them, if we will follow in His ways.
Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
The light within us needs to shine to all men. That is the light of the New Covenant – the Law written on our hearts and minds.
Shine, and we can do THIS!
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. You alone are worthy of our praise. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts. Deliver us from the thief. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
