Not Very Glamorous
Hebrews 6:10
Hello ~
I love it when Ronnie needs me – “Hey, Honey, I need you to clear your schedule on Tuesday. We’re going to feed the homeless…Hey Babe, I need your thoughts on a speech I’ve got to give next week... I need you to go with me to a fundraiser dinner…etc…. Unfortunately those requests are not the most frequent ones.
Usually the tasks he asks me to do are quite mundane and feel more like an interruption than a privilege. “Are you going to be able to get me some more razors today? Will you please sew this button on my shirt? He loves it when I fix his morning coffee the night before; a chore I dread doing every night…not very glamorous and yet in his eyes, very important.
Ya know, I think I’ve often had the same attitude with God. Who doesn’t love thinking that God has asked them to accomplish some great and mighty feat? It’s easier to work at mock speed with your hair on fire when an important vision is at stake. But we all know that life can be so…routine. What about being faithful in the drudgery of the same ole thing; the seemingly unimportant assignments? Keeping your home in order, being friendly to the new person, being in your ministry week in and week out…anybody with me here?
God promised He…”is not unrighteous to forget your labor of love, which you have showed toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” Hebrews 10:6
There is no hidden thing that will not be revealed. He sees the mundane responsibilities that you faithfully fulfill. Maybe it doesn’t feel very glamorous…yet in His eyes, it’s very significant. Keep up the good work!
Hope & Glory! to You ~ Love
Rebecca
