Isaiah 60:1-“Arise, shine.”

Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

“Some people do a thing in such a way that it is hallowed forever after.”- O.Chambers

DRUDGERY

If I perform a work of drudgery, if I do a thankless task

The Holy Spirit’s approval is a secret joy in which I bask.

If I wash wounded feet in humility, loving a soul I met today.

The Holy Spirit gives honor; hurting hearts are healed that way.

If I do a mundane duty, silently representing the Holy One

Then any anonymous serving creates a place for Christ to come.

Lord; walk across all drudgery that is essential throughout each day.

Remind me that You are leading, creating holiness Your Infinite Way.

The more I obey in secret, observed only by my Lord

The more I give God pleasure as working with Him in one accord.

JOURNAL JOTTINGS: Drudgery is far from the spotlight and the accolades of men.

List the things you have done instinctively that you now realize were mundane ministries.

Relate the joy of the journey behind the scenes. List mundane things that you could creatively accomplish in secret. Make a joy filled game of pursing things only

a servant heart would notice. ENJOY the secrets you and the Lord are about to share.

“ARISE and SHINE” will become an adventure for you.

When God leads you to a mundane ministry, His Presence with yours will hallow it.

DEAR JESUS, Praise you for the privilege of serving You. Thank you for opening my heart and mind to the mundane, drudgeries of life. Thank you that wherever my steps go with YOU, Holy Ground is create. Moses met You and so can I. (Ex. 3:5-“The place whereon thou standest is holy ground”) Thank You Lord, that even interruptions which seem mundane, might become a call to prayer and ministry from You. Thank You for the Peace of Your Presence that I carry into every situation and circumstance of life. Thank You for being a God of detail. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN

“My Presence shall go with thee and I will give thee rest.”-Exodus 33:14
