DECEMBER 15 – IT’S GOD’S WORK

 Pray for the Master to provide workers from and for the work of harvest… 9Heal the sick who are there, and tell them, “you have experienced the working presence of God.” (Luke 10: 2,9)

                  Can you keep understanding that it’s not about you when great things are happening, and people are praising you? Can you remember that your work is no more important than that of any other believer, no matter what your role? Can you stay focused on the single person Jesus puts in front of you each moment, even if there are so many you must consider?

                  Twice during His instructions to the seventy-two follower/students, Jesus reminded these people, “It is not about you. This is God’s work.” Think for a moment. There were no believers in these towns where Jesus sent them. The prayer in verse two is for a harvest full of harvesters. The workers to lead the people must rise from the people who would be changed. That takes a miracle of God. It is no less a miracle than to heal the variety of “sickness,” (whether emotional, spiritual, or physical) these people would encounter. All of it was beyond their human capacity.

                   This same work is also your job. And, it is also beyond your capacity, apart from the Holy Spirit’s leadership in your life. It is still God’s work – all of it – every day.
