OUR FOOD: TO DO THE WILL OF GOD

A nearby resturant was having a drawing for a 10 speed bike.
So a mother took her son to enter the drawing. She handed
her son an entry blank, and his question was; "Just one"
And he promptly began filling out a handful."
Well son" she said, "You know that if the Lord wants you to
win that bike, you will only have to fill out one." "Oh I know that"
he said. "I'm just signing these in case this is a contest the Lord
doesn't happen to care about one way or another."
It happens with people today. We like to do things our own way.
We don't stop and consider what the Lord's will is for our lives.
Right after Jesus visits with the Samaritan woman, and the
disciples return from town to get some food, Jesus makes a
statement that caught their attention. And it should get our
attention today. "My food, said Jesus, is to do the will of Him
who sent me,and to finish His work." (John 4:34)
There are three blessings that come when we do the will of God
in our lives.
1. TO DO THE WILL OF GOD IS THE ONLY WAY TO PEACE
(Luke 1:79)
2. TO DO THE WILL OF GOD IS THE ONLY WAY TO STABILITY
(Matthew 7:24-27)
3. TO DO THE WILL OF GOD IS THE ONLY WAY TO POWER
(2 Corinthians 3:5)
When we are obedient to God, it shows how much we love Him.
It shows that we are more sufficient in God than of ourselves.
To experience God's blessings, that's the way it should be. (GP)
