20 October: Luke 12:35-38
Key verse: Luke 12:35
Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit;
Devotion:
How often are you ready for the work God has organised for you to take care of? I have a reminder in my calendar which tries to remind me every morning to write another devotion - it does not always work because I do not always take notice of the reminder my phone and watch give me!
God knows we live in this world with so many distractions and so many things to remember to do; he also gives us all the tools we need to remember and do those things... Whether do get round to doing them on time and for his glory is a whole different kettle of fish (that's a weird saying!)
But God also would like us to remember him and all he does in our lives without having to prompt us and remind us every day. Sometimes it is very nice to have someone step forward and do something for you or encourage you in some way.
If we are truly willing and able to do things which others can see as us working for God, we will make a difference in our lives and in the lives of those people who notice. Just maybe that is the encouragement that would like to see which will make the difference in their lives!
Points to ponder:
When was the last time you showed someone you care about them?
When was the last time you told God he is number one!
