“I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” John 9:4 KJV
Yes, it seems the days are shorter and darkness is greater, day by day. So, we too, must be about The Father's business and work! (Luke 2:49)
So what job has He given you?
Some of my friends are looking for jobs. Some of my friends are ready for retirement. Some of my friends love the work they do; some hate it.
Wherever you are, is where you are called to "work"; whether you are employed or not!
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.” John 14:12 KJV
You've all heard the old adage, "bloom where you are planted", well it's time to "go to seed!"
Whether you are planting seeds in a pot or a 100 acre plot, you best plant if you want a harvest! That's your work! You are called to bear witness to what He has done in your life! You shed His light in this dark world! (Luke 8:5) (Mark 4:14)
“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
John 9:5 KJV
“But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
1 John 1:7 KJV
As long as you have your eyes on the world you will be looking for better; better work, better pay, better days. That's why we are told to keep our eyes on Jesus! Wherever we are with Him; it doesn't get any better!!!! He is our source! In Him do we find satisfaction! In Him we find meaning! In Him our needs are met! Pleasing Him our desire, for we were made for Him!
“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 KJV
Put your eyes on Jesus!
Keep them there!
If you are having trouble doing that, examine your heart!
Sin keeps us from a right relationship. Ask God to show you if there is something there that is not pleasing to Him, and then confess and repent!
Praise God for His mercy and His grace!
Now, get to work!
Even so - MARANATHA!
