Prayer for our Nation, our Leaders and Topics of Concern for 1/17/14 - 1/23/14


Challenge to share your testimony:

Have you seen God turn tragedy into triumph in your life this past year?(or at any time?) I'd like to encourage you to share your testimony, see details below at the bottom of this blog.
Revelation 12:11 : And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony....

 

The Extra Mile

Here is a little phrase you’ve probably heard many times: “It’s not my job.” If that’s part of your vocabulary, it shouldn’t be. It will make your work meaningless and destroy your testimony. That doesn’t mean you can’t set boundaries, nor does it suggest you should recklessly take on tasks you’re ill-equipped to manage. But the nation is filled with people today who have decided they are going to do the bare minimum, and sometimes even less.

Those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works.
Titus 3:8

If others are going to see Christ in you, you must devote yourself to good works, going beyond your job description, surpassing expectations, and seizing every opportunity. Abraham went the extra mile to help three strangers. The Good Samaritan crossed the road. And Jesus died on the cross. Any one of them could have said “It’s not my job,” but they didn’t…thank God they didn’t.

Today, pray for a positive, helpful attitude, and ask God to help America’s leaders set aside pride, pettiness and partisanship to devote themselves to good works.

Recommended Reading: I Thessalonians 5:12-24

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
