I have been struggling over the last several months over my purpose, where I’m supposed to be, and what I’m supposed to be doing. In my head, I recite Colossians 3:23 (NIV) to myself, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” But it is easier said than done to put this into practice day after day. I’m sure some of you can relate. It’s not that we don’t do a good job. It’s that our hearts are not always in it. Why? For me, I think the issue is focusing on the day to day job stress, rather than on how God is/can/will be glorified through the job. It is a daily commitment that I don’t always get right. None of us always get it right. But each new day that the Good Lord grants us is another chance to get it right. It is a chance to ask: How can God be glorified by what I do today? Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23, NIV).
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your compassions that NEVER fail. Thank You that they are new every morning. Thank You for Your faithfulness. Please help us to work at whatever we do with all of our heart as working for You. We love You. We trust You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I Will Cling
