Your Open Word e-Devotional for January 9th

Published: Mon, 01/09/17


Hello ,


It's Monday.  The start of another work week, and many had that sinking feeling in the the pit of their stomachs yesterday, as they looked out over the landscape of another week.  So much to do.  So many phone calls to make.  So many projects to check up on.  So many deadlines to meet.  Where did the weekend go?

Life does get busy, but in midst of all the busy-ness, worry, and struggle God can be there too. He can be in the smile that you give the postal clerk who looks so weary.  The rays of His light can shine to that frustrated person on the phone when you speak kindly and calmly to them.  His love can be felt by that patient that you take a little extra time with.  

"By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

God can be seen in so many ways, and He waits for the opportunity to be experienced through us today, in the ways that we interact with others who journey here on planet earth.  It's a high calling.  We can't do it alone, and God has promised to be with us.


Have a great day and God bless!



Pastor Mike / The Open Word
