We love to charge off to do God´s work. But we have mistaken the calling if we haven´t taken the time to get to know Him. Endless work get done each year, supposedly in the name of God. Yet things don´t work that way in His Kingdom. First, we must grow so close to Him that His Spirit leads. Our nature and intentions are not Spirit-filled if we don´t spend enough time with Him to fill them.
Dear Lord, Give the word and let us come. Command the powers that be and say, “Let these come close.” Find servants who have sought You enough to be filled with Your Spirit. Then send us as You see fit. Teach us Your ways. But always draw us near. That way, it will be Your work that gets done, and not our own. Amen
But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33
38. He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me. 39. He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it. Matthew 10:38-39
44. “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45. “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls, 46who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. Matthew 13:44-46
