Was it hard to get out of bed this morning? Is it tough to get motivated? Here’s some encouragement from Jesus: “As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work” (John 9:4). Jesus has work for you and me to do. Isn’t that encouraging? As long as you are on earth, God isn’t done with you. God has a plan and purpose for your life. Work while it is day! Whom can you pray for today? Whom can you encourage? Whom can you reach out to? Everyone needs it. Work while it is day!
As you do, trust that life doesn’t depend on your works, but on what Jesus has done for you. Here’s how Jesus continues: “While I am in the world, I am the light of the world” (John 9:5). Jesus worked while it is day in the biggest possible way. He lived a perfect life—everyday. He died for our sins—every single one. He rose to give life and light to everyone who believes in him. It’s Jesus and his work that motivates us to get out of bed and search for opportunities to serve God and others. Let’s work while it is day!
