Devotionals for September 17, 2024
Our Shine Sunday will be on September 29th! Make plans to join us!
READ
1 Corinthians 3:5-9
5 After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us. 6 I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. 7 It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. 9 For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.

I trust you will lead me to the job you have planned for me and that i will be greater than I can imagine. I trust that you will use me to witness to your glory in all the jobs I may have along the way.
