Its not about “being busy” …its about the state of your heart in anything that you do!
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
Colossians 3:23 NIV
I have been called to serve, and that means I am cleaning peoples homes. I am blessed. I had prayed and asked God for a Job , to earn enough to buy food while I am here ( in Cyprus). God heard me, and graciously found a way. So each time I go out to clean, I honor God by doing a spectacular job cleaning! I make sure that everything is spic and span and perfect! ( windows are my struggle I admit!) But I keep trying to make them perfect!
Why do you do what you do?
and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—
Exodus 35:31 NIV
I had no idea I would support myself by cleaning other peoples homes….but…this also places me in front of people and I can speak about Jesus to them ( don’t throw it in there face though! ) I do it subtley and with co siderayion of my audience. Mostly I just do a great job with a genuinely thankful to be there attitude and let God’s light show through me.
Why are you with who you are?
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
Proverbs 3:5 NIV
Trust in God, all that you do. To guide and lead you, especially to be with the right person ( spouse) or to your “community”.
Seek Him! Always! Everyday!
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 NIV
But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.
1 Samuel 12:24 NIV
Don’t ever forget to be thankful. For even the things that you may think are small.
Each morning I get up I thank God for the birds singing, for a night of sleep, for the cup of coffee I drink….and throughout the day I am praising God ( sometimes aloud and sometimes, alot of times, silently only to Him)!
I will give thanks to you, Lord , with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
Psalms 9:1 NIV
I share what God has done in my life! Alot comes through in my writing, but also when that door is open to an audience, I am not shy to give God the credit for everything, because it IS all Him!!! ( admiringly, I have had to work on this, so don’t think it just comes natural).
May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
Psalms 20:4 NIV
You may come to find out….that what you THOUGHT you desired….it changes! This change is to match the will that God has for you…..so be open, listen! Li e to please God and not your self!
The thing. That makes God happy…..is our trust in Him!
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11:6 NIV
This is where we need to get our hearts! TRUST in Him with every part of your being!
