vocation

Psalm 134:1
1 Oh, praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
you who serve at night in the house of the Lord.

Even night watchmen in the temple of Israel worship and praise God. It is interesting to think of the faith response of those who receive wages for ministry. Working with a church community in this way can be most satisfying. It can also be frustrating because of the deep connection between work and soul that is part of it.

Pray for staff at your local church community that they might have the joy of the Lord.
