What Sustains Me?

Scripture: John 4:34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

Observation: What’s my food, what keeps me going? I wish I could say doing what God created me to do, but it’s not. Each day I wake and barely have the energy to get out of bed, then go to work, come home, eat, watch television and go to bed. Where is my purpose in that? That is not God’s will for me to be useless after all He has done for me.

Application: The few times that I do something for God whether feeding the poor, doing counseling or helping at the church those are the times I feel full, full of the Holy Spirit. I need to arrange my time better so that I’m doing more for my Lord and letting Him take control of His servant. I’m going to have an opportunity to help at the father daughter breakfast and do a spaghetti dinner to help raise money for someone in need, that is what God’s will would be for this life.

Prayer: Dear Lord strengthen me to do your will. Open my eyes to the things that please you. Show me how to serve in a way that brings honor to you. I freely give you this life as a living sacrifice, may it be holy and pleasing to you.
