Colossians 3:23-24

5 August, 2024

Whatever you do, do from the heart, as for the Lord and not for others, knowing that you will receive from the Lord the due payment of the inheritance; be slaves of the Lord Christ. – Colossians 3:23‭-‬24

Father God, you are our Omnipresent God, Omnipotent God, and are constantly present, close to our needs, living and breathing, within us and around us, though invisible, yet being our Helper, and through your Holy Spirit, our Protector, in all that we do. We praise you and glorify your Name, your humble subjects, for you are King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. And above all, you are Christ Jesus, our God of Salvation, the Name above all names.

Lord, you are present in our everyday lives and can delve into the deepest corners of our mind, knowing everything and observing our most secret deeds. We are acutely aware that ultimately, we are accountable to you and you alone, as our Judge. This puts a significant perspective on our approach and execution of each task and event in our lives. We recognize the importance of not just performing diligently in all that we do, but also the delightful knowledge that we can and should include you in every undertaking in our life, both great and small, consulting you in all matters, walking closely in your will and way.

Lord, with you by our side, we know that everyone we encounter will be dealt with, in love and understanding, with your blessings upon us. All that we attempt will be performed with integrity and excellence, influenced by your presence. Every challenge we meet will be with the strength of your hand in ours and every evil will depart before threatening us, with the knowledge of your providence. All that we accomplish will be for your greater glory, for our rewards will be set up for us as an inheritance. Lord, help us to be Christ centered to receive your grace and favor, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
