John 4:34 “Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the
will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.”
As I
read this chapter this morning, above the lagoon in what would be our “backyard”,
I was listening to “Your Glory” by All Sons and Daughters. The lyrics go as
follows, “My life is Yours. My hope is in You only and my heart You hold, cuz
You make this sinner holy…Cuz Your glory is so beautiful. I fall onto my knees
in awe. And the heartbeat of my life is to worship in Your light, cuz Your
glory is so beautiful.” That has literally been my anthem for this time. It has
been a constant surrendering of self, a constant surrendering of my life, of my
future, my family, and just everything. God has showed me certain things, for
example the many verses of selling items I wrote about last week, but it
ultimately comes back to God. I am here to do HIS will, not my own. I am here
to do the work of Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit”. And wherever He takes me, I desire to do just that and further
His Kingdom.
This
verse specifically though, speaks a lot. Our physical bodies need food, but
Jesus had other works to do in the time for His Father. The question is what is
my priority? Who is first in my life? He is number one in my life. He is above
all else. All I want to do is the will of my Lord. I know I’ve said that a lot
in my previous posts, but it’s true. It has really been a daily surrendering of
my desires and looking to His face. I know He will open or close doors and He
will lead. I just need to ask for a constant outpouring of His Spirit and keep
my eyes fixed upon Him.
Lord, it’s You above all
else. Truly “my life is Yours and my hope is in You only…because YOUR glory is
so beautiful”.
