Some notes... Tuesday, April 12, 2005 My devotions this week are dual topics...work and tounge. The tounge...Watching what I say. I still beleive its more the heart dictates the tounge. But that does not seem to be so. It seems there are many more times to be silent but as society favors the strong so we cannot be silent and must speak our minds. What we say is an action just as the hands. And it reflects just as much. When we use poor judgement and say wrong things it refelcts as zeros out everything. I find this true in my life and workplace. Then work...do we offer work as a prayer? Do we work in the glory of God? Do we work a vocation or our calling? What is God calling me to do? Our lives should become the work and then in the glory of God? Work was made by man and the rules are governed by the same. Watching my tounge at work...may mean taking a day of silence. Then again maybe a day of silence is good for the soul anyways. I know that I try to help, voice my opinion, tell others of things that have worked for me...all in trying to help and often wordy do I possibly over do it. Then it gets lost in translation that I only mean well and comes back to harm me. At work there are behaviors I wish to change, in life I want to make living for God my job and then my vocation be a way of serving him and doing it in his glory. So the tounge helps at work but its my new work, new job of wanting Godliness that will prevail. Easier said than done with my mind getting in the way...but this is where I am for the next few days in my devotionals and studies. posted by Tom at 1:44 AM 1 Comments:  Bobby said...

Smooth let it be or rough, It will be still the best; Winding or straight, it leads Right onward to Thy rest. I dare not choose my lot; I would not, if I might; Choose Thou for me, my God, So I shall walk aright. Take Thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill, As best to Thee may seem; Choose Thou my good and ill. Choose Thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me My poverty or wealth. The kingdom that I seek Is Thine: so let the way That leads to it be Thine, Else I must surely stray. Not mine, not mine the choice In things or great or small; Be Thou my Guide, my Strength My Wisdom, and my All. ~Horatius Bonar
