“The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” |
—John 6:29 |
Busy, busy, busy! We live in a busy world.
One time, nearly 30 years ago, a colleague at the insurance company where I worked told me he was so busy he had lost track of exactly what work he was supposed to do.
Keeping the task at hand fully in our minds is, obviously, very important. But exactly what is the work that God wants us to do in this world?
Jesus answered just such a question from His disciples in John 6:28-29:
Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
As we begin another day, let’s fix our minds and hearts on God’s mission to our corner of the world: to share what God has done in our lives so that the Holy Spirit may draw those whom God has chosen to belong to Himself.
We need to share our belief in the One that God has sent to be our Savior and Lord, His Son Jesus.
