LIVING LIVES=OF PRAYER AND OF SERVICE

 

LIVING LIVES=OF PRAYER AND OF SERVICE

 

If someone asked you

“WHAT do you do?”

 

Chances are=you would

Tell them=what you do

FOR a living

 

But something

We should all do

Is LIVE LIVES

OF PRAYER AND SERVICE

For one another

 

“Jesus answered the Jews’

‘My Father is at WORK

Until now=so I am

AT WORK’”                                                                                                                         John 5:17

 

As 21^st century-

MODERN DAY CHRISTIANS

It is

ALL of our WORK

 

To do lots of SERVICE

For one another=and to

CONTINUOUSLY pray

For one another

 

LIVING LIVES

OF SERVICE=AND OF PRAYER

For one another

 

“A curse on anyone

Who is lax=in doing

THE LORD’S WORK!”                                                                                                       Jeremiah 48:10

 

“THEIR WORK

Will be shown

For what it is

 

Because the Day=will bring it

To light

 

It will be revealed with fire=and the fire

Will test the quality

Of EACH PERSON’S WORK”                                                                                    1 Corinthians 3:13

 

It is great-

To have a profession

To make a wonderful living

 

But as=MODERN DAY CHRISTIANS

We are called=to have

A WIDER VIEW of life

 

LIVING LIVES OF PRAYER

AND OF SERVICE

 

“The Lord

Has heard my cry=for mercy

The Lord=ACCEPTS MY PRAYER”                                                                                         Psalm 6:9

 

“……..these I will bring

To my holy mountain

And give them joy

In my house=OF PRAYER”                                                                                                            Isaiah 56:7

 

With PRAYER-

And times of quiet contemplation

 

We become AWARE

Of HOW God is

WORKING and moving in our lives

 

It then becomes OUR JOB

As MODERN DAY CHRISTIANS

To illuminate

The lives of others=

By LIVING LIVES

Of PRAYER AND OF SERVICE!

 

To FIND God

Deep within our hearts

Is a TREASURE=

A BLESSING FROM GOD

 

And to SHARE that TREASURE

With others=in our life

Is our WORK

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=Of our EVER PRAYING=and SERVING=Holy Father God!
