My father taught me that everyone wants to be important. This is quite true. The problem is that there is only a small amount of so called "important work" and infinite small and less rewarding jobs. In Genesis after Cain murdered his brother Able for presenting a better sacrifice, his character and countenance fell. God asked him that wouldn't his countenance get better if he arises and does well? So it is with the small taskes of life. We have to remember that our Savior told us that who so ever brings a cup of water to the elect, he shall by no means lose his reward.
Daily Prayer: Father, all too often we visualize ourselves as important people. The problem is that being important is not the problem, but we want what only you can have which is g lory. We are important to you and we know this because you sent your Son to the cross to save us from ourselves and from sin. Let your grace be sufficient for us. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
