TODAY’S VERSE: Colossians 3:23-24

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” [New International Version (NIV) Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society]

TODAY’S MESSAGE

I’m sure it has happened to you at least once in your lifetime. You work hard… you wake up every morning and strive to give your best… you make your greatest effort to please your boss, spouse, parents, church leaders… but you feel you’re doing too much and not being recognized for it… or you’re giving away too much time and not being paid enough… or you simply feel not appreciated at all. Ever felt this way?

I know exactly how it feels, for I’ve been there many times. But God is watching, and He does not lose sight of the facts. He also sees your heart… your attitude… your great desire to serve Him and others… your willingness to go the extra mile… your desire to please Him over everyone and everything else. And He’ll definitely honor you for it.

Let us never forget Who we work and live for, Who our real boss is. And as we take care of serving and pleasing Him, He’ll take care of placing us in the right place at the right time. We’ll never lose when He is in charge!

TODAY’S PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for watching over me and not losing sight of my daily circumstances. Teach me to rely on Your grace each day to continue doing my very best wherever You place me, and thank You for the doors of opportunity that will soon open for me. This I pray in Jesus’ name and with a heart of thanksgiving and praise, amen.
