My Morning with God- John 4:34,Luke 4:18, John 5:17

Devotional: Still Working—A Nurse Navigator’s Call

(Inspired by the message preached by Pastor Willie Diggs at City Worship Center yesterday and based on John 4:34, Luke 4:18, and John 5:17)

As Nurses and Health Care Workers , we understand something deeply: care doesn’t end because the shift feels long, the system is heavy, or the patient is complicated. The work continues because people still need help. That same truth echoes through the words of Jesus.

In John 4:34, Jesus says, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.”

In healthcare, we know what it means to be sustained by purpose. Some days it isn’t rest that carries us—it’s knowing someone is depending on our follow-through. For the believer, obedience to God’s will becomes nourishment. Kingdom work strengthens us even when the body is tired.

Luke 4:18 reads like a Nurses assignment sheet:

Bring good news to the poor.

Care for the brokenhearted.

Advocate for those in bondage.

Help restore sight, clarity, and hope.

Guide the oppressed toward freedom.

This is more than scripture—it is mission alignment. Jesus named the very populations we serve every day: the overlooked, the misunderstood, the overwhelmed, and the forgotten. Our calling places us at the intersection of compassion and coordination, faith and action.

Then Jesus declares in John 5:17, “My Father is always at His work to this very day, and I too am working.”

God is still at work in hospital rooms, clinics, care plans, discharge meetings, and quiet conversations. And as His hands and feet, we are invited—no, expected—to keep working alongside Him.

Reflection

Yesterday’s message at City Worship Center reminded us that the Kingdom of God is active, present, and moving. There is still work to be done—and much of it looks like service, advocacy, patience, and love in action.

As healthcare workers in people of God, our work is sacred. We don’t just manage care—we guide souls through vulnerable moments. We help people navigate systems, but we also help them rediscover hope.

Prayer

Father God,

Thank You for trusting me with Kingdom work in the places where people are most fragile.

Help me remember that my calling is not accidental—it is assignment.

Strengthen me to work while You are working, to serve while You are serving, and to love as You love.

Let my hands be steady, my heart be willing, and my spirit aligned with Your will. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right Spirit with in me.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
