Father, there is absolutely nothing like this time of the morning together. It is just me and You. May I cherish every moment. May I hang on to Your every word. May those words be “hidden… in my heart that I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11
Titus 2:9-10 (<<click here to read the passage)
Lord, this passage is applicable in today’s workplace. My work ethic and interactions with my store’s leadership team (and now my transportation supervisor) reflect directly on You. They know who I am and know I am a follower of You. I cannot control preconceived notions of what they think that means, but it is my responsibility to live my life in such a way that You are portrayed in such a way that they are drawn to the idea of having a relationship with You and are not repulsed by it.
I must admit it is a constant battle. The tedium of everyday life makes it a challenge. I know You care about this aspect of my life in that I feel Your nudges to focus and be productive. I feel Your encouragement to love others as You would, even if they are bothersome or simply hard to love.
As I sit here thinking on it, may love be the driving factor in how I do my job. May I think of Your love for me, and may that result in my loving You and wanting to please You in everything I do.
