Wiping down the fellowship hall tables at 9 p.m. is worship with a spray bottle.
GRATITUDE
WHAT THIS MEANS
Devotion at nine at night with a spray bottle does not feel like anything. The room is empty, the music is off, your feet hurt, and the work is the same work whether or not anybody ever knows you did it. That is exactly what gives it weight. Nothing about it is performance, so whatever is in it is actually yours.
Take the last job once this week, the one that happens after the interesting part is over. Do it without your phone in your hand, and leave before anyone can thank you.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
What late cleanup could you stay for this week?
MORE IN FAITH, GRACE & PURPOSE
- Covering for a teammate who’s struggling, without making them pay for it later, is grace in its natural habitat.
- The worship leader’s voice cracking doesn’t ruin anything. God was listening to the heart, not the key.
- Sometimes the honest prayer about a person is “change how I see them,” not “change them.”
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
