DO WHAT YOU DO

Today's reading: Isaiah 56-61

"...Honor the Lord in everything you do, and don't follow your own desires or talk idly..." Isaiah 58:13 NLT

I don't know what you do.

You might be a doctor, a baker, a candlestick maker.

Me? I'm a secretary on a farm.

No matter your calling, or your retired position in life, this verse speaks to you.

And to me.

Honor God in everything we do--and don't follow our own desires or talk idly.

Everything covers, well, everything.

From standing behind a pulpit to washing dishes.

From holding a gavel in a courtroom to carrying trash out of an office.

From driving down the road to sitting beside the bed of a sick loved one.

Do everything to honor God--not yourself (own desires) and with few words (idle talk).

Smile on your way to work.

Make folks smile that work around you.

Consecrate your work to the Lord.

How you do what you do.

It will make a difference in your life--and it might make a difference in another's.
