God's Fellow Workers

Do You Worship The Work?
By: Oswald Chambers
My Utmost for His Highest
April 23 Devotional

We are God’s fellow workers... 1 Corinthians 3:9

Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him... We have no right to decide where we should be placed, or to have preconceived ideas as to what God is preparing us to do. God engineers everything; and wherever He places us, our one supreme goal should be to pour out our lives in wholehearted devotion to Him in that particular work. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might...” Ecclesiastes 9:10

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we go into preparations for the Sheryl WuDunn Event in September in addition to the other events and responsibilities that we have, we ask that You would keep us centered on You.

Please take the time to read this beautiful devotion and complete prayer as prepared by our chapter Spiritual Life chair, Karen -- here.

April Devotional

But Then Came Sunday . . . He is Risen!
by Rich Stearns, World Vision US President

Just a few weeks ago I walked in those places where Jesus walked in the Holy Land. It dawned on me yet again that Jesus did almost everything differently than conventional wisdom would have dictated. I visited Capernaum and Galilee where most of his three-year ministry took place -- a "hick town" ten days' journey from Jerusalem. Not the best location to start a movement that would change the world.
