Diligence

Here I am supposed to be working from home and all I can do is sit here and day dream of a day down the road. At this moment I want to be done with working every day for a paycheck. I want to end each day with receiving a reward that is not monetary, but something that I will carry with me into eternity. I desire to spend each day soaking in God's word, sharing His word, encouraging and being encouraged. This ho-hum life of material gain, always seeking more and more, I am ready to be done with it.

But getting there is a process...one that I am supposed to be taking some of the first few steps in...working from home to get the guidelines in place for the office, getting all the job descriptions, office policies and work instructions written up so that when it is time the office can be handed over to someone smoothly.

I pray for diligence today, for a mind to be focused on the task at hand. Father, help me to focus, Lord, I know that You are going to bring everything into its perfect place in your time. I also know that all these things You have spoken to my heart have a purpose and that purpose will come to pass. Father, help me to be in this moment, to fulfill the task that You have laid before me today.
