""Who among you would say to your servant who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, 'Come here immediately and take your place at table'?" Luke 17:7
As a follower of Jesus, do you ever get to rest from this world? No, It constantly seeks to get a hold of you so we must always have our guard up and be prepared to do what the Master asks of us. Not easy being a follower of Christ, yet "Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life." John 12:25. As Christians, our work is never done. It would be nice to sit at the table but only when we have done what we have been commanded to do and it has been prepared for you. Until then we must be unprofitable servants in the vineyard.

Dear Father, You live with me each day and know me intimately. You know what my heart desires and how I yearn for You. Help me each day to live for You and not get weary or overwhelmed. I am at Your service and will do what You ask of me. Help me see the snares of the devil and give me strength to seek Your will always. Blessings upon Your faithful servants, May they be strengthened for another day to go into the fields. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
