Prayer: Lord, please help us to honor You in all we do today. Amen
Scripture: You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to You and not be silent. Ps. 30:11-12 NIV
He had informed his mother. Thursdays he wouldn’t be wearing his jeans to school because that was chorus rehearsal day. Apparently, Lucas considered chorus rehearsal a special event, and he wanted to look his best. This information coming from his mother made me smile, and it delighted me that Lucas thought of chorus in such special terms. He clearly showed his pride and joy at belonging to this group.
We, as Christians, have been chosen too, as members of a very special kingdom. Do we reflect the pride and joy that we should? God wants us to rejoice in Him, and in the service to which He has called us. Do we delight in even the most mundane of tasks because we have been called to serve the King of Kings? How easy it is to get caught up in the bitter complaining of the teachers’ lounge or to consider the same old tasks as hum-drum and ordinary. But remember Whose you are and Whom you serve. Let that reminder set you apart from the others and clothe you in joy today.
