Today’s Scripture:<\/strong>
\nWork with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.<\/em> Ephesians 6:7<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:<\/strong>
\nAs believer’s we should be enthusiastic about living each day for the Lord. We should passionately want to serve Him.
\nWe should be excited every day that we have another chance to do the good works He has prepared for us to do.
\nLet’s begin to live our lives zealously, asking God to inspire us as we walk in His Spirit\u2019s power and might.<\/p>\n

Today’s Prayer:<\/strong>
\nDear God,
\nI want to work for You with enthusiasm! Each day, I want to enthusiastically do the good works You have prepared for me to do.
\nI want to wake up excited, looking forward to what each day might bring! I want my heart to be passionate about serving You!
\nHelp me to be inspired to live this way daily God. I can only imagine how wonderful life would be if I lived it zealously each day in Your service!<\/p>\n

Today’s Action:<\/strong> Enthusiasm
\nBe enthusiastic in everything you do as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
\n….do the will of God with all your heart.<\/em> Ephesians 6:6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
