What Should Come Before The Will Of God?

Good Morning!! What drives you? What motivates you?...What sustains you? Jesus revealed to His disciples, when they could not understand His passing up a meal,...that His driving motivation was the will of His Heavenly Father. Notice that it is does not satisfy Jesus' appetite; to simply know the will of God, or to study His works. Jesus says His fulfillment, is found in actively engaging in the work of God,...and persevering until it is completed.

"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.—John 4:34 (NIV)

Too often people think of Christianity as a set of rules or beliefs only. But following Christ invariably means hungering to know the Will of God, and being satisfied only when we are fully engaged in it. Nothing else can substitute for active obedience,...and yet, Jesus takes it a step further than obedience; His mission statement includes completion, of the work that God has for Him to do. Jesus is not just trying to salve His conscience,...or make a show of obedience,...His satisfaction only comes in the achievement, of God's purpose for Him here on earth. 

The Will of God,...know it,...and don't fill up on anything else.

Lord we want to hear the Word, eat the Word, and most of all we want to live the Word,...help us today, Father. Amen.

"Many jokes are made about the devil, but the devil is no joke,...Be Mindful!"
