Bloom Where You are Planted: Man Prospers in His Own Soil

We honor Jesus by bringing Him glory through what He has given our hands to do – working at it with all our hearts as unto Him.  There is a plan for each of our lives and we are the ultimate losers if we do not walk in it.  We are not to be looking around at what others are to be about rather we are to keep our eyes and energies fixed on what He has called us to be about.  A good question for us to ponder is do we bring Him glory through our work?  Does He stand high or low in the world’s eyes through us?  If we think little of Him, going about our own ways, giving Him little or no thought, contented to live without the pleasure of His smile or the comfort and warmth of His presence and caring very little for His honor we will remain bloomless – so to speak – in our works.  If He is on the throne of our hearts then it will be well with our souls.  And we all desire soul satisfaction, Amen? 

We want to be like Jesus Who was always about His Father’s work, always bringing His Father much glory.  Resolve to follow hard after Christ through His power in all He leads you to do, wherever He places you, from the hospital bed to the mom changing the diaper to the CEO of the largest company to the doctor who transplants the heart to the one who sits in the Presidents chair.  It matters not the position rather the action and the heart attitude motivating the action.  If we are determined to bring God glory through what He places in our hands to do, we will.  And that, my friends is taking hold of life that is truly life.  Don’t ever wrongly believe that anything is beneath you to do either, because it simply is not.  We all stand on equal footing at the foot of the cross.  Seek to have a strong will toward a righteous and Godly resolve to bring God glory through our actions in wherever He places our feet to stand.
