“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.”
Jn. 4:34
Can we say the same? Is God’s work more important to us than our necessary food? So we esteem God’s will above our sustenance, so that seeking his will satisfies our longing as physical food cannot? Do we crave to do God’s will as we crave food? Often, I fear, God’s children, with all of his abundance at our command, starve for want of spiritual craving. We are sent to his work, to labor in his vineyard, to harvest in his fields, yet we stop or stay from the work to feast on his blessings, rather than on his work and will. Ah, friend, let us leave the well and our water pot and go tell his goodness and mercy in order that others may come and drink, then also begin eating the meat of God’s will and work as well. The Father has given us the wonderful privilege of carrying on his work below; let us not stay selfishly by the well, but go out to do his will and work. Let us make his will our meat.
