We’ve made our plans, piece by piece, step by step, connections and mechanisms put into place. Before our plans, the Architect had a bigger plan. We gather the workers, tools, and resources to bring all things together according to a greater design. Will we read the blueprint carefully enough to build what was actually designed?
Father’s Work — “So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.’” (John 5:19 ESV) Where is your work most connected to something bigger than yourself?
Work While It Is Day — “We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.” (John 9:4 ESV) How does the urgency of time affect how you approach your calling?
Spiritual Move: Vocation — The practice of discerning the work God has given to you, dedicating yourself to it, and offering it with excellence. “Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him.” (1 Corinthians 7:17 ESV)
