Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, everyone works in Your kingdom. Every Christ-follower has relevance. Until we retire to our heavenly “retirement” home, You desire to use us to further Your kingdom. Every task has significance since You tailored our work to uniquely fit our gifts and talents. Whether we serve as a pastor or care for the elderly in nursing homes, teach at-risk youth in urban centers or operate an engine repair shop, build houses or clean houses, whatever You’ve called me to do, may I honor You, Lord, and bring You glory. As You exhort us in Colossians 3:23 “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.” And as we age and earthly retirement is beckoning, and looking really good, may our godly influence keep us relevant and our godly wisdom cause others to seek You.
Have mercy on our friends along the Gulf Coast bracing for the coming hurricane that promises to bring extensive destruction. Protect their lives, let Your church minister to the needs of the people, may people see Your divine intervention. May people call on You during this storm.
Working for You, Lord, amen.
