"It Is the Lord!"

John 20:28 (Amplified Bible)
Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God!


Many of us go through life expecting Jesus to fill us, "quench our thirst", when we should be the ones who are striving everyday to satisfy Him!! Jesus told the woman of Samaria, "Give me a drink", (John 4:7- Presently, when a woman of Samaria came along to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give Me a drink.) We should be investing every single aspect of our lives into God and His Kingdom, not waiting for Him to come and fill us. We need to be living, breathing testimonies of what God is all about!! (Acts 1:8- But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.) "That means lives of pure, uncompromising, and unrestrained devotion to the Lord Jesus, which will be satisfying to Him wherever He may send us."
When we are living the lives we should be living for God, we need to be alert to the many things that will come along and compete for our devotion. Believe it or not, one if the many competitors is our service to Jesus. Instead of pouring our lives totally for Him, it is easier to just "serve" Him in an area or two. When we are called by God it should be our ultimate goal to completely satisfy Him in every area of our lives, not simply just serve Him. " We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles. Are we more devoted to service than we are to Jesus Christ Himself?" This is a question we must all ask ourselves, take the time today to look deep within and see if you are just serving Him, or are you giving Him your all??
