Do Not Lose What You Worked For

Scripture: 2 John 1: [8] Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.

Observation: My work is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and to live a life worthy of him that others may see his love through me. It’s so easy to lose that witness, people are watching to see if I slip into the world so they may have an excuse not to believe. It is so easy for me to slip, my thoughts are still of this world at times and I still have a selfish nature.

Application: I need to depend on God to keep me strong. I have no strength in myself but need to be dependent on God’s grace to keep me. Each day I must be in prayer and in study to assure that I know what to do.

Prayer: Dear Father take charge of your servant’s thoughts and actions. Use me to honor you and to touch the lives of others in your name.
