Morning Prayer
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
Inspiration
Scripture addresses our work ethic, and we must pay attention! Often, we are frustrated with our employment situation due to minimal wages paid or work atmosphere. We disagree with our employer's decision-making or the tasks we are assigned. God is present in each moment. He sees our actions and hears each thought. We will put our best effort forward by showing reverence instead of working the bare minimum with disrespectful hearts.
Prayer
Dear Lord, We are thankful for our employment opportunities and will honor You by working hard and communicating with respect and dignity. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Night Prayer
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Inspiration
We despise the thought of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. The outside is easy to clean; it's the caked-up residue on the inside that's so difficult to remove. Jesus compares the scribes and Pharisees with dishes that have been wiped clean on the outside while dirty inside. The Pharisees took exceptional care of their outward appearance and neglected their inward spirits. We are guilty of allowing our hearts to be left filthy as well. We look and act as we should while our souls are full of darkness. We must continue to converse with the Holy Spirit daily and trust His guidance to cleanse our sinful nature.
Prayer
Dear God, Please forgive our sinful nature. We yearn for cleansing from within, so we are genuine witnesses to Your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
