The Work of the Master

My dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don't hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort. (1 Corinthians 15:58 MSG)

Today's meditation:

• Working for the Lord is the best use of our time even if the tasks seem small - driving a nail, sweeping a floor, offering a comforting word, sharing a bit of bread and water.

Pray today:

• For the last-minute preparations underway for our EC Serve team to Uganda and Kenya leaving on June 12, for safe travels and abundant opportunities in the field, for those who will receive the ministry of this team to have open hearts and minds.
• For the Emmanuel College staff, faculty and administration to invest ourselves in the work of the Lord as never before, for us to see the harvest ripening before us this fall and not hold back in our responsibilities to guide and challenge our students in faith, learning and living. 

Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College. 

“. . .they raised their voices together in prayer to God.” (Acts 4:24 NIV)
