1 Corinthians 6:1 – We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to recieve the grace of God in vain.
I have always said that I want to be a worker for Christ. But this verse shed a new light on my service to Him. I should desire to work together with Him not just for Him. When I work for someone they give me a task and send me off to do it. But when I work together with someone we have a common goal, one focus, and we combine our strength to get the job done.
I want to combine my strength, which is very small, with the unlimited strength and power of Christ to accomplish what He wants me to. By working together with Him the job will not seem so big and I will not run out of strength.
If I continue to strive to work for Him I am working in my own strength and I will fail. I will fail miserably everytime. I am only human with only human strength. And the job that He gives me to do is of eternal value. And I need help from someone with eternal strength to help me. So, today God has reminded me it is not all about what I am doing for Him but together with Him. Am I living my life shoulder to shoulder with Christ working where He is working to have an eternal impact for His kingdom.
I want to raise my children together with Him, not just for Him.
I want to minister to my family, friends, and church together with Him and not just for Him.
I want to live with Him, growing closer, getting to know Him better, each and every day as I work together with Him, spreading His grace all around.
I like that you are doing this every day. It makes your computer time have a purpose. I used to wake up and just play around on the computer in the morning for no reason. Just to do it. I was wasting time. This is a very good use of your time that you are on the computer.
