Daily Work

"Daily Work" By Diane Webb

II Corinthians 1: 3—"Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ."

God's grace towards you is abundant and free. He extends it out of his love and favor for you. He wants you to be at peace in your home as well as in your work. God wants you to be happy in doing his will. His work in you will give you more peace. He does not want you to feel ill at ease in your daily toil. God's plan for you leads to peace in your heart not dred in your stomach. Any work that causes you to feel sick, unhappy, or oppressed is not God's will for you. He places in your heart the desire to please him through your work according to his will. When you are doing the right work in the right place you will have peace in your heart. Through his grace and mercy he helps you achieve the work he has set for you to do. He will place you where he wants you to be when the time is favorable. He is working toward this goal now. Have patience and continue doing the best you can where you are. He will move you when he is ready to move you. Rest assured you will not have to stay where you are much longer. God wants you to feel his love and he wants you to feel a sense of peace as you work for him.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the grace and peace you give me. Help me be patient as I wait for your will to be done in my daily work. I submit myself to your will and humbly serve you. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
