Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed

James 5

Another ONE set free

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You're my Healer
I believe You are all I need

I believe You're my Portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need

My Healer, You're my Healer

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You

You hold my world in Your hands

I believe

"But God says, 'Look around. What I've built I'm about to wreck, and what I've planted I'm about to rip up. And I'm doing it everywhere—all over the whole earth! So forget about making any big plans for yourself. Things are going to get worse before they get better. But don't worry. I'll keep you alive through the whole business.'"

Jeremiah

101

Life is Work, Work is Life

Scripture:
Gen 2:8-15 Then God planted a garden in Eden in the east. He put the man he had just made in it…God took the man and set him down in the garden of Eden to work the ground and keep it in order.

Observation:
God’s creation is good. As he created man, he positioned him in the garden. He set him in the garden to work and keep it in order, even before he gave Adam a wife or a child.

Application:
Our work matters to God! In Exodus 34:21 God’s commandment says that ‘we shall work 6 days but on the 7th day you shall rest.’ Whether the days were actually 6 days (in our understanding now as 24 hours x6 days a week), that is still a very good ratio of the command. We place so much emphasis on the 2nd half of the verse that we forget the call to work. Where God placed us over the course of our working week matters! What we consume our every day with matters. Our career consumes half of our lifetime! Do we necessarily have to have the phrase that goes ‘Thank God its Friday?’ and always look forward to just the weekends? Can we come to a place in our lives where we won’t have to just look forward to the ‘end of the week’ but that wherever we’re positioned EVERYDAY was another opportunity to bear His image, whether it be in the workplace, on the streets or at home. Could I come to a place in my life where the lines were blurred between my life and work?

Prayer:
Creator, Lord over my family, my workplace, my community, my relationships. Friday night I take a pause from the rat race of the world. I commit my tasks, my relationships to you. I want to know what You have to say for the plans and promises that you have over my life for this earth, aware of the reality of the world around me. Where you call me to with every person that I meet, with every opportunity that I’m positioned in, I want to be able to bear your image with what I know how, for whom you’ve created me to be, not striving to be someone that I’m not May my carnal mind not box up my 'social' life or my 'professional career' or 'my church life' but that life itself is one entity, to be your message. What is your message? Teach me, reveal to me by Your Spirit I ask these things, so let it be.
