Alright thank you very much and hello again radio friend. How are you? Doing alright? Well, I trust everything is okay at your house, and I’m glad for the privilege of being back with you once again to look at the Word of God. Look with me if you will please at the book of Ephesians, almost said Philippians, but it’s Ephesians for right now and let’s see what the Lord will say to us from this precious portion of His Word.

Paul signs his name first, always nice to have people sign their names to letters. Those of us who are on radio and television get a lot of letters that are unsigned or else signed, “Your friend in Christ” or something like that. Always nice to have a name signed to the letter and Paul signs his first, “Paul an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God” and he’s writing to the Saints which are in Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus, “Grace be to you and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies in Christ; According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.”

Well, I’ll pause there in the reading, he says he’s an “apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God.” Which brings me to ask you, have you discovered yet that your daily work, the job you have, the calling in which you engage, or the profession by which you are identified, your job, your daily work is part of the will of God. Many people compartmentalize their life so that some things are religious in nature and other things are secular, and as the saying goes, “’n’er the twain shall meet”. For the Bible-believing Christian everything has significance in the will of God. “Whatsoever you do, he says, do it heartily as to the Lord, whatsoever you do in word or deed do all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God and the Father by Him”. Paul said, I am an Apostle by the will of God”.

Can you say, I am a teacher by the will of God? I am a minister by the will of God. I am a brick layer by the will of God. I am a computer programmer by the will of God. I am a homemaker, mother and homemaker by the will of God. I think we make a mistake if we expect all of our daily work to be religious in nature, it isn’t. I mean it’s hard to sing “Holy, holy, holy” while you’re changing the babies’ removable seat covers or cleaning the attic or the garage. It’s hard to sing “There is sunshine in my soul today” while you’re opening up a stopped up sewer. Yeah, there’s some things in life that don’t lend themselves to singing an anthem and the problem is that we say, “Well my spiritual life is one thing and this pesky job that I have to do is another”, no they are one in the same.
