God, help me to see and do the work before me.

Let us never say, “God has given me nothing to do,” He has. It lies on our doorstep.

Do it, and He will show you something else.   

~~Elisabeth Elliot  

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

There’s nothing to do,” the child whines, only to have mom answer, “Well, I can find you something to do . . .” Moms have a great way of finding chores for a bored child; there is always something that needs to be done.

It’s the same with our Christian lives. We look around, bored, thinking that God has given us nothing to do. However, as Elisabeth Elliot says, the next job we can do for him is right on our doorstep. The job may not seem very spiritual. It may not even be noticeable. But if God has placed it in front of you, chances are he wants you to get it done for him.

It just boils down to paying attention, listening, and keeping an eye out at the front door. You never know what God’s going to bring your way.

In God’s kingdom, there is always something to do.

Prayer for Meditation

God, help me to see and do the work before me.

Scripture for Meditation

Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil. Whatever you do, do well. For when you go the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. Ecclesiastes 9:10 

Music for Meditation 

Here I Am Lord
