Let's get to work

I am a firm believer that GOD has something for each of us to do. Yeah, I know, I am too old, I am too busy, I have other obligations, yada, yada, yada. We are all busy but we all have something that GOD wants us to do. And, trust me when I say that I feel completely unqualified to do what He allows me to do sometimes, but, I know that HE will give me what I need to do what He has called me to do.

Some of us may be called to be great speakers, some great teachers, some great comforters, some great encouragers. Some of us may be called to support roles; showing up and doing it. Whatever it is that GOD has called you to do, you will not be completely happy or fulfilled until you are doing it. But, all of this is just an introduction to what I truly want to discuss...

Today's word is John 6:29, NASB, which reads, "JESUS answered and said to them, 'This is the work of GOD, that you believe in Him Whom He has sent.'"

The first work that GOD wants any of us to do, and as some translations state, "The only work GOD has for you...", is to believe in JESUS. It really is that simple: to believe in the One that GOD sent to pay the price for our sins and to provide a way for us to be made right with Him. JESUS is the only way to Heaven. Our faith in Him, by GOD'S grace, is ALL that will get us there, not any kind of work we could ever perform.

GOD has called us all to do something. The first and foremost thing He has called us to, though, is to believe. Admit that you are a sinner. Believe that JESUS is GOD'S Son. Confess your faith in Him. That simple. Let's get to work.

Be Blessed,
