FROM TODAYS DAILY REFLECTION: The Lord was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did…Potipher put him in charge of his household…the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptians because of Joseph. - Genesis 39: 1-5. We can trust God to make sense of our resume. He is the author. Our hopes, goals, and expectations must travel through him, always lived out in the context of his people. God is working through our obedient exercise of Spirit gifts and professional skills, and, as Joseph’s life reminds us, his purposes stretch from countryside pastures to household financial services firms, from prison administrations to the halls of political power. May he find us there and find us faithful. - Peter Baker, Ph.D. A PRAYER: Father in heaven, we humbly acknowledge that you alone are worthy. I wake up today a new creation. I turn to you again to be the author of my hopes and expectations, my definition of success. Father, bless my work today, that it may bring blessing to my employer and colleagues. Father, bless my work today, that it may bring blessing to my clients, customers, vendors. Father, bless my work today, that it may bring blessing to this place we call our hometown. I trust you with my future, my reputation, my wellbeing and the welfare of my family. I do not pray alone. I am family, one of your people. Teach us to depend on one other in this good work. May we represent you well, pleasing and honoring you in all we say and do. Amen.
