Devotional Reading
One of the most important truths from Paul’s prayer is that knowing God’s will must affect the way we live.
It should result to walking worthy of the Lord – to living in a way that pleases Him.
There is something God is looking for from you where you are, with what you have, with the challenges you are facing.
Let what you know about the will of God shape your response to life.
His eyes are on you where you are, as you are, and at the level you currently occupy. There is something He expects to see from you.
God is asking you to be faithful with your own assignment and with the resources He has placed in your hand – no matter how small.
- Perhaps He expects integrity in your workplace, you to remain faithful when nobody is watching.
- Perhaps He expects patience in your home, you to forgive.
- Perhaps He expects generosity despite your limited resources, you to encourage someone.
The kingdom of God is built through people who are faithful in the places where God has put them.
Joseph did not wait until he became governor (in Egypt) before becoming faithful. He was faithful as a servant. He was faithful in prison. He was faithful before promotion came.
Your present location does not cancel God’s expectation.
Constantly be asking: “What does God want me to do at this level?” Let this question will help you live intentionally before God.
Personal Reflection
- Am I faithfully doing what God expect of me now?
Life Application
- Choose one responsibility you know God has placed upon you – that you have been treating as insignificant and begin to perform it from today with excellence as an act of worship.
Prayer Points
- Father, help me recognize what You expect from me where I am.
- Make me faithful in little things and fruitful in every good work.
