Quote:
“As a new believer, I resolved to turn the butcher shop into a portal of heaven. I would get in early before the other workers, get on my knees, hold my knives up to God, and offer everything I did as an act of worship to Him. I wanted people to say... "Those were the best sausages I have ever had.""That was the friendliest butcher I have ever met." I had an "Unto the Lord" orientation to my work, which steadied my heart and imbued significance into the most menial tasks.” - Jon Tyson

Prayer:
“God, I give my hands to the work of the Lord.”

How will I dedicate my work to God this week?
