Day 6 Priorities

As time seems to be getting shorter. The battle of getting enough sleep, spending time with the word, and fellowship outside of my normal work schedule is getting tougher. I was encouraged today at work to really do my work as unto the Lord doing it diligently and serving my other co-workers as best I can even if it means doing work that is normally mundane or not related to my job function. But a title at work never precludes a christian from being a servant in the workplace, as long as you still do what your job requires. Sometimes I feel that I need to have the right arguments to sway people to follow Christ, but all you need is Christ. As Paul wrote, "Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles. but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. The witness of Christ himself and the pure message of the gospel holds all that is necessary to silence any arguments that stand up against us. So in desiring to allow God into the marketplace we use weapons that are not of this world to "demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Cor. 10:5

God continues to answer prayer and reveal new things to me everyday. Help me not to fear man, but rather to fear the one who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Teach me what it practically means right now to work out my salvation in fear and trembling and to walk in the calling of Christ. "That if anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." Luke 9:23
