Working Well

Been hard to stay focused in on work for some reason... tried the internet surfing, even chatting with friends, and yet the days have dragged. Usually there's not even enough time in the day to do that, but this week, even chatting and surfing haven't seemed to help, nor have I found the motivation to keep to get my projects done.

God is good and knows exactly what I need, when I need it. While surfing, I came across this:

Thanks God for this reminder from Max Lucado (http://www.maxlucado.com/)!And for your Son who set the prime example of being a worker and servant.

Working Well
“My Father never stops working, and so I keep working, too.” John 5:17

God views work worthy of its own engraved commandment: “You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest” (Exod. 34:21 NASB). We like the second half of that verse. But emphasis on the day of rest might cause us to miss the command to work: “You shall work six days.” Whether you work at home or in the marketplace, your work matters to God.
And your work matters to society. We need you! Cities need plumbers. Nations need soldiers. Stoplights break. Bones break. We need people to repair the first and set the second. Someone has to raise kids, raise cane, and manage the kids who raise Cain.
Whether you log on or lace up for the day, you imitate God. Jehovah himself worked for the first six days of creation. Jesus said, “My Father never stops working, and so I keep working, too.”

No Greater Love...

"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
~John 15:9-13
