October 31 The work of the Lord must come out of the churches and institutions and into our houses and our hearts. The Lord's work must be there, not in buildings and clubs. It must come out into daily life. Then everyone will do the work of the Lord with prayer and thanksgiving to God. Our lives, our work, all our doings will come before God and will be for God. We will be servants of God without having to buy a clerical collar. We can do the Lord's work with a pitchfork in hand. Nobody need feel excluded; for everyone, whoever he is and whatever he does, can share in the work of the Lord. Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt, from Die, and Jesus Will Live, New Year's Eve. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A PRAYER FOR TODAY Blumhardt's prayer for today and every day of the year. http://blumhardts.com/bl/DailyPrayer.htm?source=Breakfast Like what you read today?
