Jesus’ food was to do God’s will and finish his work. Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.” – John 4:34 |
We can be confident that we will be blessed if we seek to serve God as our first priority. “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” – Matthew 6:33 |
If you had only one day left to live, what would you do? What does your answer tell you about where your priorities lie? Do you believe that real fulfillment in life comes from doing what God wants you to do or what you want to do? What does the Bible say God wants you to do? How would someone else see that God is the first priority in your life? If someone followed you around followed you around during the course of your day, would your actions make it clear to that person that you placed priority on honoring God? Or would that person see no real difference between what your actions showed that you valued and what unbelievers’ actions did? What specific changes could you make in your life so that you could be more actively engaged in building the Lord’s house?
