My Intercessor is My Friend

by

I, and many others I know right now, am going through a trial called COVID-19. My family and I have been very fortunate to have only minor symptoms, but we are able to understand many things about this virus even better now and are able to pray more specifically for others who find themselves going through this trial. The worst part, in my opinion, is having to quarantine. Not being able to just pick up and do anything you want whenever you want to is a real burden, and I feel sorry for anyone that doesn’t have a strong support group of family and friends there to help them with any of their needs. I pray for anyone like that to receive the help and support they need to make it through this! We are praying for others with COVID-19 in ways we had not up to this point, and I think that is perfect intercession. Being able to sympathize with the pain and hurts of others and to lift those things up to the Father who is able to grant us mercy and grace in our times of need!

Are You Seeing Your Job as a Means of Enjoying Life?

See, for us who know God as our personal Savior and Provider, we are able to see beyond the cares and concerns of our day and see the bigger picture of what we do and why we do it. We sense the bigger purpose behind our labor. We work as unto the Lord. We work with purity and honesty, along with integrity. We work because we know that we have a strong opportunity to witness to a lost world around us through our efforts in our job. So, we are able to do our best and then leave it there while we trust God to work things out for us. Trusting in God makes all things better. Remember that Proverbs 3:15-16 tells us to rely upon Him and He will make our paths straight. Maybe that is applicable to our job too??
