Before Service Prayer: Father in heaven, I pray that You would refresh my mind and soul today, so that I may enjoy the work I am assigned to do. Sometimes I feel tired, weary and bored in the mundane tasks of this life and my career. I know You have placed me here, in this season of my life for a purpose. I know there is nothing better than enjoying what I do and finding happiness withing the work You have given me to do. I pray that You would help me find joy, contentment and enthusiasm for my tasks and responsibilities each day. I am powerless to make my life happy or my labor successful by myself. These things come only from Your gracious hand. Father, I thank You in advance for Your blessings. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Today's Theme: UNDIVIDED ATTENTION - ON USEFUL RESOURCES. Money. Possessions. Perhaps more than anything else, those things have the power to turn our attention away from what is truly important. It is no surprise, therefore, that Jesus frequently teaches about wealth. Christ wants us to understand that it is our heavenly Father who provides us with those useful resources. But we need to know why our Father gives them: what they are useful for, and what they are not useful for. Those resources cannot give purpose of meaning to our lives on earth. They cannot give us security for life after this earth. However, the blessings God provides can bring some joy to our lives. More importantly, our wealth is extremely useful in our efforts to serve God and others. This week let us give our undivided attention to what Christ says about the useful resources our gracious Father provides to us.
