Let Your Loveliness Shine

'Let your loveliness shine on us, and bless the work that we do, bless the work of our hands.’ Ps 90:17

Our family is in our 27th Professional Baseball season.  For us the he baseball season brings on many stresses and organizational challenges; setting up housing, organizing travel, juggling the schedule of baseball and the family.  No matter your profession you have your own set of stressors.

As this 27th season began my husband and I sat down and discussed what the season ahead looks like.  We know that we will once again spend a lot of time away from each other, we know that the ups and downs of wins and losses will happen, we know that these are all constants in this baseball life.  This year we also want to remember to focus on what God has called us to do every day, to glorify Him in all that we do, no matter your profession.  As my hubby and I talked, we know we truly want to focus on God and where He has us not just this season but always.  As we prayed together we asked God to present to us times that we can serve Him and others for Him, we asked Him to help us be obedient to His calling when these moments arise, and we asked that He bless these moments of serving others.  Our platform of baseball has opened doors to make an impact however, any contact with others gives you the opportunity to make an impact for God.    

Have you taken time to focus on what can you can do each day so that God can be glorified?  Take this time to find things to do for others, to make an impact in their lives and yours.  Commit to letting His light shine through you, commit to giving your lives away, commit to following Jesus’ leadership in being a servant, commit to loving the world the way Jesus did.

Let’s commit this season to the Lord and being His servant throughout our life.  Join with us…“Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.”
Ps 34: 3

Prayer:  Lord I thank you for another season of baseball where we can use the platform you have given us to glorify you.  Thank you for each and every person and the platform you have given them.  Help guide us and lead us to be obedient to your calling.  Lord let your loveliness shine on us and shine through us.  Bless the work of our hands and our hearts.
