10/22- Wednesday 1 Corinthians 15:58 58Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let
nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because
you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Bonhoeffer: “We must be ready to allow
ourselves to be interrupted by God. God
will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us
people with claims and petitions.”
Thoughts: The work of the Lord is the work that God
brings to us. It is not necessarily the
work we plan to do. Sometimes our
problems and crosses surprise us.
Sometimes there is a need that we must attend to for the honor of
God. Whatever our call for God- planned
or last minute- we should give ourselves to the work of the Lord
wholeheartedly. Many times, we must deal
with evil, hurt, and heartaches that we had no intentions of handling. Such things are our calling- but we should
not be so distracted by the urgent good or the distracting evil to focus on what
is most important. The balance is to
remain steadfast- giving ourselves to God’s work no matter what it is. Sometimes the work of God is hard but the
work of God has eternal rewards.
Prayer: Help me to not grow weary or distracted in
doing your work, Lord.
