Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were present had purified themselves, whether or not they were on duty that day. 2 Chronicles 5:11 NLT

Christians form media-saturated cultures find pretense easy. It’s part of the social fabric.

It’s why polite people smile and reply, “Fine,” when asked how their day has been.

But pretense can create bipolar believers—men who are unaware they have become actors on a Christian stage. Scott Wesley Brown wrote a song about this titled “Pray for Me.” In it, he admits it’s “often easy to wear the servant’s mask” while actively resisting doing what servants do best. This happens when Christians smile center stage yet don’t prepare for life in the slow lane.

The scripture quoted above says the priests purified themselves so they would be ready to serve God any day of the week.

Paul said, “I have done the Lord’s work humbly and with many tears” (Acts 20:18-19 NLT). Like the temple priests, his wasn’t an “on” and “off” workweek. Whether he was manufacturing tents or preaching and teaching, he started each day ready.

Similarly, David sang, “I will wake the dawn with my song” (Psalm 108:2 NLT). He too started each day prepared to serve God wholeheartedly. Continuing to read a devotional book like this can help you do the same.

Prayer: Lord, help me prepare to serve You, whether I’m onstage or off today.

We are soldiers for Christ brother, a soldier always prepares himself, to serve, to protect himself, to be ready for what whatever the day brings.

Shalom

There is a green hill far away sister...

Lovely to feel the joy from your heart, even with what you are coping with. Trust in the Lord, in His love, in His peace, in His Grace and Mercy, in His grip. You'll never walk alone.

Shine Jesus Shine Nic.
