Work It

I've been thinking A LOT lately about what GOD wants me to do. I have always tried to seek GOD'S will for my life. Now, I haven't always immediately accepted it. And, I have from time to time tried to run from it. But, as I matured in my Christian faith and walk, I try to follow GOD'S will and call.

Trish and I have young children. I want to be sure that I am being what I am supposed to be as a husband, as a father, as a person. I want to be the one that leads my family, that teaches my children about GOD, and faith, and purpose. I want them to see me living my faith to the fullest. I want them to see me doing GOD'S work for His glory.

Today's word is Genesis 2:15, NIV, which reads, "The LORD GOD took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it."

I think a lot of folks are wandering around trying to find what GOD wants them to do. Why? Because, they don't like what GOD has called them to do. OR, they don't think that what they are doing is "good enough". No, they don't think that their efforts aren't good enough; they think that their calling should be something more glamorous, more visual, more prominent. But, I'll tell you what GOD has called us all to do - WORK.

Maybe you're thinking that GOD can't use you in your work. I want you to know that GOD is using your work for you and for others. Your example of good work, your determination and attitude is a testimony, either positive or negative. GOD put Adam in the Garden of Eden to tend it and take care of it, to WORK it. So, GOD'S calling for this season of your life might have you gardening, or welding, or cooking, or managing, or sweeping, or mowing, or cleaning, or typing, or whatever. His purpose, though, has not changed. He has placed each of us wherever we are to WORK IT.

Be Blessed,
