God's Co-Worker

 How great would it be to be described as God's co-worker?  Not God's employee, God's servant, God's follower, but God's co-worker?  Two people working side-by-side toward the same goal.  What if Jesus introduced us as, "This is my co-worker  ___"?  What a privilege to be described that way and to hold that place.
 That is just how Paul described Timothy in 1 Thessalonians 3:2.  Timothy is "our brother and God's co-worker."  If we seek God's goals in our station in life, then we are God's co-worker in raising families, teaching children, studying and working alongside others, feeding the hungry, comforting the grieving, spreading the gospel.  God's work is a vast undertaking.  He chooses to use many co-workers.
  For Reflection:  Where may I serve as God's co-worker today?  Am I working alone or alongside Jesus?
  Let us pray.  God, it would help a lot if I could feel you beside me today as I go about my normal activities and any special activities you want me to do.  I want to be your co-worker today.
