Let us be about WORK and not WORKS!

Heavenly Father,

You know that we are all praying for Chip and Rebecca to find purposeful, suitable work.  With thanks and praise, we are all so grateful that Marc and Alyssa have found work with potential, fulfillment and long-term fruitfulness.  I pray that You will send opportunities to Chip and Rebecca in like manner, Lord. 

We have learned that work is doing by Your grace along with Holy Spirit power, what You have called us to do.  We all want to be about work and not 'works' which is doing in one's own strength and ability what WE want to do. In fact, thank you for reminding us that the 's' in works could stand for show! May we all focus on work (that is all about You) and not, works (which is all about the individual.)  

Make a way, Dear Lord, for the right positions to be manifested for Chip and Rebecca.  Give them patience and tenacity to unearth opportunities and to decipher what is pure and true; right and praise worthy. With thanks in advance for the great WORK You are about to do in each of them, we pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.

​2 Corinthians 9:12-13   

​

12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. ¹³ Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.

​Titus 3:8   

​

 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

When we carry out our vocation in obedience to God’s commands, then God himself works through us to His purposes. This partnership with God includes all legitimate forms of work, not just spiritual vocations. – Martin Luther (who later rejected the notice that monks and clergy were engaged in holier work than shopkeepers and housewives.)…Seemingly secular works are a worship of God and an obedience well pleasing to God.

Still praying for job  breakthroughs for both of you.  Goodness, look what happened for Marc and Alyssa and all just on time - God's time :)

Always and forever - Momma​
