Hopefully you enjoy
what you do for a living, but most of us do not have a deep and daily sense
that we are involved in some grand adventure with eternal consequence. Caught up in the humdrum details day in and
day out, we may end up plodding through rather than intentionally and
passionately living our lives.
Yet in the middle of the daily
monotony, God has called you to something magnificent. He has gifted you with particular
abilities. You have experiences that no
one else has. Taken together, these
produce a unique person, one whom God not only loves, but was willing to die
for.
Many of us will spend vast sums on
objects that we sit on a shelf, but not God.
He did, in the midst of creating the fires of the universe, create you
as a knickknack. Jesus did not come to
bring life just so you could do nothing in His collection. Right now in your family, in your
neighborhood, in and through all your both deep and casual relationships, God
has a work for you to do. Now there is a
thought to start a new year!
Father, what do you have in store for me to do? I begin by asking just for today. What word would You have me speak? What deed would you have me perform? I can hardly wait to see the adventure You have called me to go on with You. In the name of my Lord, Jesus Christ, amen.
