You're in it together
'whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus' COLOSSIANS 3:17
Every one of us has to work in some way; whether it's at school, college, uni, work or home. But most of us 'work' by ourselves, which we're not meant to do. We're told to do everything in the name of Jesus, not just some things.
So today, why not make the decision, whatever you're doing, to do it together with Jesus? Tell Him now that you want to go through the day with Him.
John Ortberg says: '...when you have a tough problem, ask Him for help. When you have a difficult decision to make, ask Him for wisdom, then listen and be really open. When you find your energy flagging, ask Him for renewed strength. When you find your attitude turning negative, ask Him to re-focus your heart...Every few hours... pause for two or three minutes.
Thank Him for His help. Hand Him your worries. Ask for His energy. Every moment is an opportunity to be with Jesus.
When you forget, and you will, when you mess up, and you will, remember this really important rule: there's to be no beating yourself up! Every moment is another chance. God just keeps sending them. That's grace. Every moment ... is a new chance for you to be with Him.' Remember, Jesus wants you and Him to be in it together - so why not make that your mission today, and give it a go.'
