Colossians 3: 23 Living Bible
"Work hard and cheerfully at all you do, just as though you were working
for the Lord and not merely for your masters,"
Looking back over my life, I believe I
could have worked harder and put in more effort. I probably just used about 25
per cent of my energy and my ability. Today, as I reflect on how I worked, I
feel I should have done things for the Lord and not merely for my boss. Most of
the time, I didn't really like my boss, and it showed in my performance.
Here I am, thinking can I still make a
difference? Yes, I believe I can it is my prayer the Lord Jesus prayed: "I
have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you game me to do."
John 17, verse 4. I am serious about serving God. I want Him to be pleased with
my performance and my attitude and the way I carry myself. And Paul's statement
is something I am thinking about day after day, "I consider my life worth
nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord
Jesus has given me." Acts 20, verse 24.
Sadly it took me forever to come to
this point in my life. Thank the Lord for His mercy is new every day. I can
still make a difference.
Prayer
Father God, humbly I confess that I
have been messing around my entire life. I have not been doing my best job now.
Today, I want to pray and ask You, Lord, please forgive me. I believe that
whatever I am doing right now is worth doing because You have given it to me.
Lord, I am no longer vulnerable to the critics or dependent upon the cheerleaders.
Help me work accordingly and do everything I can to the best of my abilities.
In the name of Jesus Christ Amen
