Listen to this daily worship

Exodus 20: 3 (NIVUK)

3 ‘You shall have no other gods before me.

Not everyone defines their identity by the work they do, but when we do there is a danger that our work becomes our God. And in a strange way we end up worshipping ourselves. Our reading today invites us to put God first in our lives and the rest will fall into place.

 

PRAYER:

 

Lord,

I work hard

I work long hours

Because I want

To be recognised

To be looked up to

To be seen to be successful

To win the approval of others

Lord,

Forgive my foolishness

You’re jealous for my love

Not because you want to own me

But because you love me

You accept me just as I am

Lord

Save me from my self and my work addiction.

 

Time to Reflect:

 

What does it mean to you to walk humbly with God — Remember this week’s simple life rules. Relax, relate, be thankful, play fair, tune into our wellbeing, be creative, work less.
