The Work of Your Hands

The Work of Your Hands

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Colossians 3:23

If you find yourself labouring under someone else's leadership, longing for promotion, better pay, or more fulfilling work—pause. Before you ask for more, bless what you already have. Gratitude is the soil where increase takes root.

Bless the work of your hands, even if it feels small or unseen. Thank God for every task that teaches you patience, every duty that sharpens your skill, and every moment that allows you to serve. Your current assignment is not a prison—it’s a platform. Honour it.

Bless the money you earn, no matter how modest. Let your gratitude be so deep that you joyfully give a small “Thank Offering” to someone in greater need. This act of generosity becomes a prophetic seed—declaring that your hands are not only working, they are giving, and they will be blessed.

Prayer:  

Lord, thank You for the work I have today. I choose to bless it, honor it, and serve with joy. Teach me to see every task as sacred, every paycheck as provision, and every opportunity as preparation. May my gratitude overflow into generosity, and may my hands be faithful until You open the door to more. Amen.

What are your peace stealers?

🤝 Bearing One Another’s Burdens “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2 (NKJV) Life is not meant to be carried alone. God, in His wisdom, calls us into community—not just for celebration, but for support. To bear one another’s burdens is to step into someone else’s struggle with compassion, patience, and grace. But to do this well, we must first understand our own vulnerabilities. 🎯 Know Your Weak Points—Guard Your Peace The enemy has studied you. He knows what rattles your peace, what triggers your frustration, and what tempts you to react instead of respond. Be aware of your peace-stealers. Recognize when you’re vulnerable. Guard your heart with wisdom and prayer. And just as you learn your own weaknesses, learn the weaknesses of those around you—not to exploit them, but to protect them. 💞 Help, Don’t Hinder We’re all wired differently. What bothers you may not bother someone else—and vice versa. That’s why empath...

Only Believe

Only Believe - In the scripture a man came to Jesus and said, "My little daughter is very sick. She is close to death. Will you come to my home and pray for her"? Jesus agreed. But along the way he kept getting stopped, one interruption after another. Finally word came back to him saying, "No need to come. You've waited too late. The little girl has died". The people were upset, very distraught. But Jesus said to them, Luke 8:50, "Don't be afraid. If you will only believe the little girl will be well". Notice the phrase, "Only believe". Jesus went to the home, prayed for the little girl and she came back to life. But you too may be facing situations that seem impossible. In the natural you don't see how you could get well, how you could overcome the addiction, how your family could ever be restored. But God is saying to you what he said to them. "If you will only believe, I will turn the situation around. If you only believe, bre...
