Daily Devotion - Thursday, April 15

Moving Toward Occupancy

“Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and prosper for us the work of our hands –
O Lord, prosper the work of our hands.”

--A prayer song (Psalm 90: 17)

In just a few weeks we will open the doors of a new facility. We are focusing our devotional life on how the rhythms of the new building can correlate with the rhythms of our personal life.

Today is Thursday. We focus on transitional work.

As we get to the end of this construction project, a number of our associates will continue working on transition. An entire team of persons will spend time working for months making sure that the transition to new space is as smooth as possible. An entire plan is in place for moving patients from their former hospital room to a new one; the number of transitional details is really quite mind-boggling! Transitional planning and work is so very important if we are going to maintain the high standards of Hendricks Regional Health.

On a personal level each of us have many transitions to face as we move through life. Transition work is tough work because it is the work of dealing with change. Ignoring transitional work can result in problems down the road. What are the transitions you are facing? Identify them. Develop a plan for dealing with them. Take action on your plan. These steps are important for good self-care. Struggle with this question today. May God surround you as you face your transitions.
