DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 21:1-30; Ezekiel 20:1-44; John 7:12-30

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. Revelation 3:15 

The western world’s glorification of laziness has affected me. My work ethic in the Master’s service continues to marginalize and I continually excuse it by unwisely comparing myself with others. I often find myself wondering why I should labour fervently when so many don’t, somehow thinking it’s okay to ease off. But then I remember my Lord Jesus, who faithfully said “I must be about my Father’s business” (Luke 2:49). May His mind be in me. —Rick Morse

O let me see Thy footmarks, and in them plant my own;
My hope to follow duly, is in Thy strength alone. —John Ernest Bode
