Psalm 35:3 Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, "I am your salvation."
I read many verses today that were all about praising you, Father. I find it simple to praise you in your realm. To think on you and praise you for the way you are working in your Kingdom. My struggle today is to praise you in our work going on in the world. I know that probably doesn't make a lot of sense, so let me try to explain my thinking. My job is about you. Everything I do, I do for you and your Kingdom. I try to get out of the way and allow Jesus to be shown in those places where I know he is seldom thought of. My current issue is that I feel as though this work you have called me to is stagnant. I am having a hard time seeing where you are working and what you are up to in my job. I see you in my family life, my church life, and my daily living, but I am struggling to see you in my job life. Help me to see where it is you are moving in my job. Help me to open my Kingdom eyes and recognize when you are moving. Not "seeing" your movement is causing me to question my calling and I know that questioning is more about me than you. I don't want to question, but rather to see the bigger picture and stay focused on you. This verse is what I need to remember today. You are my salvation. You are the redeemer of my soul. You are the reason I live. May I see you today and have a renewed sense of your vision for my life.
