Harmony of Purpose
Whosoever...forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:33
Those who seek to live in obedience to My commandments will be brought into conformity with My nature, and these will I use to fulfill My purposes. Do not men do likewise? When a man chooses a workman, he takes into account not only his natural capabilities for the task, but also whether or not there is harmony of thought, purpose, character, and vision. If a man's heart is not in his work, his abilities will not be enough in themselves to make him a success.
Wow, this really tells us how important it is to do a job from the heart. whatever the task, to really put our all into it. Whether it is menial or significant for us to do our best. God isn't going to have us do great things for him until we have shown that we are willing and yielded to do the simple tasks and then he will give us greater tasks to do for him. So what are you doing that sometimes doesn't seem significant? that you don't like that you would rather not do? Do your tasks faithfully and as unto the Lord, and he will honor your effort. Where I work the job might not seem exciting to some, the pay isn't great, but I know it is where God wants me, that is what matters.
We have been away for a few days, it was a fun time in South Dakota, Janet and her family were excellent hostesses, the food was great, the weather was unbelievable, and we are thankful that we could spent that time with each of you. We got home last night before 8 p.m. and after a good night of rest, this is a new day and we rejoice in it.
