Faithfulness In Everything

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus-Colossians 3:17

Sometimes we feel that we are such a small part: sometimes we question if what we do is needed or helpful.  I would like to share portions of a devotional from “Our Daily Bread”, entitled, Faithfulness In Everything…In August 2007, a major bridge in Minneapolis collapsed into the Mississippi River, killing 13 people…Some time later, host Mike Rowe (from Discovery’s channel) was talking to an industrial painter, “There’s really no glory in what you do,” he said. “No",” the painter agreed, “but it’s a job that needs to be done.”…That man paints the inside of the Mackinac bridge towers in northern Michigan. His unnoticed job is done to ensure that the steel of the magnificent suspended structure won’t rust from the inside out, compromising the integrity of the bridge. Most of the 12,000 people who cross the Straits of Mackinac each day aren’t even aware that they are depending on workers like this painter to faithfully do their jobs well. Whatever you do today-big or small- do it well for our Lord! Be faithful to your tasks of influencing others for Him. Marie Traister-CBM
