Focused on God alone…. (devo reflection)

Luke 17:7 “Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’?

Lord, Thank You for the many blessings You have lavished upon me. I don’t deserve them. I can never earn them. Yet I am eternally grateful for You and for Your blessings.

Luke 17:8 Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’?

Lord, There is always so much to do. I struggle with wanting this world to see and acknowledge my efforts. I struggle with weariness as I work. Forgive me. Help me.

Luke 17:9 Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?

Lord, You alone are worthy, and I am so thankful for the Kingdom work You have assigned me. Give me strength. Renew my spirit. Help me to not seek or need any validation from this world. Keep me focused on You alone. Help me, Jesus. Amen.

Luke 17:10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ ”

Have a blessed day.
