God saw the fix I was in and how hard I had worked...
1 CORINTHIANS 15:58 (ABP)
You realize that nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever a waste of time and energy.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Nothing we do in the Lord's service is wasted.
DAILY FODDER
Are you feeling frustrated because nothing you intentionally do for the Lord's cause ever goes the way you'd like? How do you deal with that frustration?
PRAYER
God, I'm honored that you have invited me to partner with you in your work of restoring the world. But sometimes I feel frustrated and useless. Please allow me at least a glimpse of how you are using me. I am encouraged at the realization that your kingdom is unfolding beyond my limited awareness and that nothing gets wasted in your kingdom economy. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
