Who do we serve?

​June 21, 2020
Today's devotion is based on Colossians 3:23, 24, "And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ."
Sometimes we may feel that no-one is noticing, appreciating, or listening to what we are doing. We pursue our daily work and follow his leading with a heart of generosity and blessing anyway. Other times the Lord gives us an insight into the effects our efforts are having. Either way, we are working for the Lord.
Please pray with me the prayer for today: Heavenly Father, creator, and sustainer of all things, seen and unseen, Help us to be aware that it is you we are serving, as we do our work, as we read the email, clean the table, organize our task list. Open our eyes to the work of others. Inspire us to encourage and thank others for their efforts. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
