April 23 - The Worship of the Work

Yipee, we are free! Don't we sometimes forget it? We, who are charged with spreading the "good news" that Christ paid the price so that we can be children of God, often walk around in bondage of our own construction. We become burdened with working "for the Lord" and end up loosing our joy. What is the fix for this? Oswald puts it so well: "The one concern of a worker should be concentration on God"... "When once the concentration is on God, all the margins of life are free and under the dominance of God alone."

Let me know if you aren't walking a little taller and smiling a little brighter after reading today's devotional!
