Let Nothing Move You
"Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain" ~1 Corinthians 15:58
It seems like when people say, "working for the Lord" or "Doing the work of the Lord", they're referring to being a pastor, missionary, Sunday School teacher, etc. But what if it means your job as a secretary, a janitor, an engineer, a banker, an insurance agent or working at McDonalds or babysitting or mowing grass....? The Christian life is living every moment for the Lord. But what does that mean? It could be asking the Lord to guide you throughout the day. Or asking Him to let you glorify His name in your actions. Or to put someone in your path that needs help.
But even more - it is reflecting Jesus in your walk-a-day life. It's in your smile, your kind word, your comforting touch, your forgiveness, your mercy, your love. What would the world be like if kindness was the natural response to the chaos? It's almost unthinkable if you watch the news.
But love WINS!
1 Corinthians 13:7-8a "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.”
Col 3:17 And whatever you may do in word or deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
1Jn 3:18 My children, our love should not be only words and talk. No, our love must be real. We must show our love by the things we do.
