God Still Speaks

After being gone for a month to Mexico and India its time to get back into the routine and continue this devotional. It's nice to have my computer back and time to pray and meditate a bit on what God is speaking today. God speaks, all we need to do is slow down and take some time to listen.

Here is a story about a blind man. Very interesting thoughts can be found in this passage. I want to focus on verse 4, As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. Jesus was always understanding the value of time, and the need to work while time permits. If I was saying this, I would say, I must do the work of him who sent me, but he uses the plural "we". You see, God can only get something accomplished through "us". Paul said that we are laouborers "together" with him. We all know how dificult it is to work in the dark, Jesus says "we must get the job done soon, coz the night is coming when no one can work. Can you sense the urgency in his voice? Today there is work to be done, lets not get caught up doing things that have no eternal value. We, together must work while it is day, the night is coming when no man can work.
