Acts 20.1-16-There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered together.
Judges 13-And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him...
Job 41-Who has given to Me that I should repay him?
Psalm 67-God be gracious to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us---that Your way me be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.

Life is a journey with Meaning. I have graciously given you My Meaning.

So a young man probably 8 to 14 years old or so was listening to a sermon from Paul, late one night. It was probably warm from all the lamps burning in the upper room. I guess maybe he sought the windowsill for some air. He fell asleep and fell out the window. But this young man's life did not end here. God had some work for him to do.

A couple were visited by an angel. An unnamed angel. They were to have a son and dedicate this son to God as a Nazirite. This young man would become a judge of Israel and famous for his might. God had some work for him to do.

Job had suffered much. Lost his family. Only a few friends were left and they didn't seem very friendly. Job suffered from pain and disease. But God wasn't done with Job just yet. God had some work for him to do.

Pictured above is the water hose we use to water the flowers in the summer. It is put up in the winter so that any water in the hose doesn't freeze and bust the line or maybe even the valve to the house. Water that nourishes the flowers and together with God's action causes growth and beauty. God has work for you and I to do. He isn't done with us yet. We must listen to Him and seek to do His will this day and every day. We mustn't fret over worries, pain, sickness and such but know that God has work for us to do. All sorts of variety of work to do. God has some work for us to do. God be gracious to us and bless us. God make His face shine upon us and give us His peace. That His way may be known on this earth and that His salvation be known among all the nations. Yea---God has some work for us to do! Let the water of His Grace shower and soak the lives of all we meet this day. Thanks be to God!

Lord, I give You thanks that You love me so much that you give me such a variety of work to do for You. ---Amen
