Nehemiah 13: 14 Remember me for this, my God, and do not blot
out what I have so faithfully done for the house of my God and its services.
============
Another truck pulled in and I slugged over to unload it. A
coworker of mine said, “Let’s hide until the next truck comes.” I thought “Good
idea!” I mean it was hot and I could use a break anyway. When the next truck
arrived, the supervisor met us. “Where have you been?” he questioned. I
stammered over my words but could not find a good retort. “I wonder if they
will hire me next summer” I thought.
- Sometimes I’m remembered by my pitiful actions.
- Sometimes I’m remembered by my actions that aren’t so good.
- Sometimes I’m remembered by my sinful actions.
As I was being shaped by the wrong people I made some
horrible mistakes which caused several people to remember me in the wrong way. They
remember the lazy oaf who slipped off work to goof off while getting paid. If I
went to them this day, they would probably say “Yeah I remember. You caused
production to be low that day and we did not get the account.” While that is
not true, it could have happened that way.
- GOD wants me to grow up and be mature.
- GOD wants my actions to be focused on HIM rather on what I can get out of the deal.
- GOD wants me to serve not scheme.
Integrity is what GOD wants from me. Throw in a little
character and fortitude to do what is right and I will have the whole package
for giving GOD some great memories of me. HE wants me to serve and believe and
have faith when it does not seem like the right thing to do. When all have
fallen away HE wants me to stand firm for HIM, yet be graceful when HE blesses
me.
These are times GOD remembers.
- What are you doing with your life?
- Are you doing things the GOD will have good memories over?
- Are you doing things to get your way or to serve GOD?
- Can you focus your tasks on pleasing GOD today?
