It's easy to find yourself ensnared in the problems of the day. Most of us are taught to work hard and we will succeed. Most people are task or goal oriented. We set a priority on accomplishment. We are rewarded from a very early age for accomplishing various tasks. There is no disgrace in working hard and trying to achieve but we must always be mindful of who it is that is enabling those accomplishments. Our Lord has prepared a place for us in his Kingdom that is infinately greater than anything we could ever hope for on earth. We are here as servants, laborers who have the honor to praise and glorify our Father. Our place in eternity with the Father, is the reward for our faith in the Lord, living as servants, glorifying His Holy name. Unfortunately, I find myself getting caught up in the trappings of this world. My desire to provide for myself and my family can and will interfere with my focus on the Love of Jesus Christ and what it means to walk with Him. We have to get to the point where we realize we must be totally submissive to the Lord. No matter what is happening, the Lord is in control of it. When God is ready, our situation will be resolved to His glory.
