I have recently been greatly challenged by the idea of work (homework included) as worship. This comes of the heels of what so far has been one of the most difficult semesters of my academic career. I have more work to do than ever and am having the greatest amount of difficulty toward completion that I've ever had. All those things in mind, I find that the verse 1 Corinthians 10:31 is frequently brought to my heart, it says "Whether you eat, drink, or whatever you do, do it for the glory of God." That remembrance seeps into all aspects of my life, and while I fail at it often (very often) it has me wanting to try all the harder to make everything I do glory to God, to show Him well. I also find that it causes me to be more thoughtful of others. Lately, I've written more letters than usual and gone more out of my way to help those I love to know that I do love them. The balance of these things has me sleeping a bit less, but I welcome it all heartily, knowing that it is all more than worth it.
All things considered this has been one of the most confusing, most difficult, most uncertain, the most stressful, the happiest, the saddest, the angriest, and the most exciting chapters of my life. I greet the uncertain future with a great deal of optimism throwing caution to the wind trusting the God is in control and most certainly knows what He is doing, all the while trying to fully embrace the adventure that life and to God be the glory.
It is my solemn prayer that if you know Jesus that you would live always to make Him famous. If you don't I pray earnestly that you would one day know what it is like.
Thank you for reading and until next time keep reflecting the light.
-Blessings and much love,
Wesley
