Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. — John 6:27

What do you spend the most of your time working on? Is it a boss, a raise, a feeling of significance, a secure way of life,…? It’s hardly really permanent if you may lose it or be taken away from it, is it? The only thing that lasts is what Jesus offers us, which is a gift from God. So, how can you really commit to work that “lasts forever”?

Prayer

Please, God, make my thoughts clear so that I may more clearly understand the goals I am striving to achieve in life. Find methods for me to invest my time and money in things that will last forever. However, I must acknowledge that I will need your assistance if I’m going to discover my value in my connection with you rather than in what I do, produce, or achieve. I ask for your pardon and strength as I make a commitment to put you first in everything I do. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
