John 6:41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about Him….
Precious Savior, Thank You for meeting me here each morning, for loving me fiercely, for reminding me that You see me, You know me, You understand my struggles, You care, You are with me. You know that in my heart I am still grumbly, still struggling—with re-entry into the workweek, with feelings of frustration that I try so hard to reach others and it feels like no one even notices my effort. Thank You for hearing my frustration and for reminding me that I am working for You and not for human masters.
John 6:42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?….”
Precious Savior, Thank You for the reminder that You are holy and sovereign. I never want to reduce Your power in my life. Even when I’m grumpy and grumbly, I never want to doubt Your goodness. Thank You for the reminder that You have placed me where I am, that You have a job for me to do, that what I do daily DOES make a difference, even if I can’t yet perceive it. Thank You for taking the time to remind me of all these things.
John 6:43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered.
Precious Savior, Thank You for this day and for once again calling me out on my attitude. Thank You for loving me too much to leave me where I am and for noticing my efforts for You. Thank You for seeing me, for knowing me, for reassuring me to keep on keeping on for Your sake. Create in me a clean heart, Lord. Renew a right spirit within me. Draw me closer to You. Amen.
Col 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the LORD, not for human masters….
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
