服事耶稣
殷勤不可懶惰。要心裡火熱，常常服事主。
罗马书12：11
即使我们身心疲惫，即使一些人和事让我们倍感压力，我们也不可以对主放弃我们自己的责任。相反，我们应该恒久地、永远地服事他，并且满腔热情。
当我们很忙累的时候，多么希望玩半个小时游戏机，多么希望下班前什么事也不做。我们渴望有“我”自己的时间，尤其是当我们有太多的责任，太多的压力之时。现实中太多的人在侵占“我”的时间。
今天，你有没有该做的事情？你有没有可以为别人做的事情？有没有别人需要你做的事情？现在，你做了这些事会怎么样？如果你做了，而且做得很好，那会怎样？你心里有没有想过，这些都是为了耶稣而做？
今日祷告：
主耶稣，求祢帮助我不要懒惰。激励我努力工作，服事他人。最主要的是，让我专心服事你 。 阿们。
May 16 – Work for Jesus
Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.
R OMA N S 1 2 : 1 1
Even as our bodies and minds grow tired, and as our emotions need a rest from stress causers (like people and jobs), we should not let up on our responsibilities to the Lord. We are to serve him enduringly, forever, with fervor.
It would be so much easier to play another thirty minutes on Clash of Clans. It would be so much more relaxing to binge watch for the rest of the afternoon. “Me time” is very alluring, especially when responsibilities hang over the head, stresses keep beckoning, and needy people wait out in the real world ready to suck the life out of us.
Do you have something you should do today? Do you have something you could do for someone today? Do you have something someone asked you to do? What if you just did it? Like, right now? And what if, when you did it, you did it really well? And what if you kept in your mind that you were doing it for Jesus?
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, help get me off my butt today. Motivate me to do hard work that helps someone in some way. Mostly, inspire me to focus my heart’s work on serving you. Amen.
