February 3 – GOOD WORKS

God freely gives to you all that you need in every situation, in each moment, and in everything you do, so that you readily find all you need for every good work.

 (2 Corinthians 9:8)

                Why do you keep fighting all the challenges each day? Problems with employees, customers, revenue, costs, regulations, taxes, and the like are everyday issues. It makes work hard. So, why do you enter that battle, and take risks that few others would dare? What is your reason?

                For believers, Paul has a one-sentence explanation. He gives that reason, “Why?” in three easy pieces; the object, the source, and the purpose of your work. Paul explains that the Lord is in everything you do. God is the object of your work “in each moment.” He’ll be the source that fills your need “in every situation.” Paul explains that the Lord will provide both the work, and everything you need to do that work. Finally, he explains that the Lord will make your life produce works that are truly “good works” – your purpose.

                If you will see God’s vision as your reason, look to Him as the source for everything, and find the person in whom you are to invest every moment, your work will be called a “good work.”
