Be a Doer

John 4:34 
My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work. (NLT) 

And as His disciples for today I believe we are tasked with the same mission.

There are so many places to go for a meal it would be difficult to name more than a handful of them. Of course our tastes differ so those you might name would be different from the ones I might. And some of us cannot afford ones some of you might enjoy.

But when we leave after finishing our meal, we are either just filled up for the sake of eating or we are really satisfied after a great meal at a special place.

Usually we pick the place based on the occasion. The other night we went to a restaurant we had never been to before in hopes of a great meal as we celebrated another wedding anniversary. The success of the evening could not be enhanced or lessened by the ambiance or the meal, but it was nice to be out together for a special time.

There is nothing as exciting and fulfilling as seeing Him work through our hands and the words Holy Spirit speaks through us. Of course those we speak to are those He has placed in our path and made known to us. The work we have to do is helping in the finishing of what God has begun in their lives; the task he has placed before us.

We must be always at the ready; ready to reach out and be a doer of the word as Holy Spirit encourages us forward to complete the Fathers' work.
