See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. (Hebrews 3:12-13 NIV)
The desire to demonstrate our love for God and our neighbour should be the motivation that helps us accomplish the tasks that are on our daily agenda. At the end of each day we take inventory to determine how well we carried them out. When we do an honest assessment we can be pleased with those things we managed to do well. In those areas where we know we fell short we can ask God to help us improve.
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ. (Colossians 3:23-24 NLT)
What standard do we use for evaluating how we are honouring God in all our affairs? Jesus said we are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbour as ourselves. Did each of us wake up this morning loving God with our whole being and desiring to be a part of what God wants to do through us today? Did we ask God for guidance in all those things we planned to do? When unplanned events occurred, did we function in a way that was pleasing to God and may have encouraged our neighbour? Were we conscious of God being with us as we carried out the events of the day?
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. (Jeremiah 33:3 NIV)
God’s word assures us that when we call upon Him for help with our daily agenda, He will answer us and give us wisdom.
Prayer. Heavenly Father, I am grateful that You will give me the desire and the will to do what pleases You. Help me to love You with all my heart and to seek You in all my ways. AMEN
