THE WORK OF GOD

“This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom He has sent.”
John 6:29

I spend a lot of time trying to figure out what I can do for God.  There is so much work presented to me, so many needs to be met, and so many people in need that I often get overwhelmed.  I want to be a faithful steward and serve God; but where do I begin?  I read that faith without works is dead and works without faith is dead.  Both are true but it still leaves me looking for what I can do for God.

As I get older I find that usually when I am not thinking about what I can do, something comes along in my path that I know I can do without much thought at all; a friendly hello, a lending of my hands to help, or just looking at someone in the eyes so they know they are not invisible.  These may seem like small and insignificant things, but when I am on the receiving end of them they can feel like mighty things.

It is true.  I have experienced it.  When I know in whom I believe in and know who has sent Him, my work is done; then I can be used by God at any time and in any way.  What I believe in will be the foundation of my faith and my practice.  Who I believe in will be the foundation of my faith and my practice.  It is that simple.
