Wednesday’s Devotion: Many Hats


1 Corinthians 12:6  There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

On the expressway yesterday I came up behind a car with a license plate that said something like “IwalkwGod.”  I thought, “Me, too.”  Then another car came in between us. The back window was decorated with hats lined up all in a row. Each hat was different, mostly ball caps.  The middle hat appeared to be a Marine dress hat. Many hats, maybe representing many roles, but all placed on the head of the same person.  I thought about all the roles each of us fill.  And I wondered how many of us let Christ permeate each of those roles.  Do we let God work though us at work, in our social life, among casual friends, in our family relationships, at church and in our moral choices?  I’ve known some people who appeared to put on God like they would put on a hat to come to church but it was not very evident elsewhere.  Our goal is to have God at work within us in each of our roles.

Loving God, please help us to be filled with you each day so that we may be the same even when we have different roles. May we represent Christ wherever we go and whatever we do.  In His name we pray, amen.

Have a great day,
Paige
