The word for today is - Work !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Work !

It is written, be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, this is deceiving your own selves.What is your mission? Read James 1:25,But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Now lets talk about us doing the (will)work that we are called to do. Lets read Colossians 3:23-24,And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. We should be working for the Lord everyday,understand that this gives God glory, and honour. The word of God tells the order, and the plan of God for us. Read Acts 20:35,I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Also read, Proverbs 10:3-5,The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. There is work for us to do, the people are looking for answers. The answers are in the word from God, in the Bible. Lets look at the Proverbs 31 woman, lets see what the Bible say about her,Proverbs 31:28-31, Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. Wow,"Her children and Husband call her blessed." Did you get that? They thank God for her! Many women do noble things, but some people over look them all. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. The woman was praised for all her roles, not just being a mother or wife, but her role as a worker as well. The Proverbs 31 woman was always doing from within her heart for others. That is called true love, the Spirit of God. She was working all the time, even when others slept. Read Ecclesiastes 9:10, Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. We know that everything works out for our good. Read Romans 8:28,And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Their is a purpose for the call on your life, their is something that only you can do. We ( the believers) are His! Read Ephesians 2:9-10, Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Our work for Christ must have first priority, because our love for Christ must be greater than the love for anyone else. The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 10:37,He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. We are to obey and act upon the Word, not just listen to it. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
