July 22

My father said to me several times, “My name is on my watchmaker’s business, but God’s name really should be on the shop. I am a watchmaker by the grace of God.” I know that my father was a Christian first and a businessman second.

By the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

1 Corinthians 15:10    

Lord, what a joy and security that I belong to You with all that I am and possess in my work and everyday life.
