Working for God

"I remember being on holiday in the South of France and seeing a magnificent yacht moored in the harbour. She had a crew of 24. I met the captain, who was having coffee in the harbour. I asked him about the yacht. He told me that everyday the crew took her out to sea to check on safety procedures. Every day the yacht was cleaned to perfection. She was provisioned, and every day they were ready to sail. He then added wistfully, 'We have not seen or heard from the owner for nearly three years, but we are ready to set sail the moment he arrives, and I know he will turn up one day, I hope soon." Ken Costa, God at Work

-       Who are you working for?
-       If it's 'my boss' - is he or she the one who's approval you're ultimately working and waiting for?
-       The Bible has a different view. :

Luk 12:40 "You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, we know there is only one 'work' to do to be ready when you return and that is to believe that your work on the cross was enough to put us right with God. We pray that we will live and work every day in light of what you have done for us. Amen
