So many of us are working hard! We're trying to make a better life - for us and our children. Whether we are serving someone else for a pay check or doing the child care, cleaning and cooking on our own, we work hard to help provide. We all do need to eat.
But Jesus says, "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life." O. K. What kind of work would that be? He says, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." (John 6:22-40)
Hmm.. Believing in Jesus must be our real work. It puts all our other jobs in right perspective. It means that our burdens get lifted because the yoke He gives is easy and His burden is light. (Matthew 11:29 -30) Actually the yokes on animals in Bible times were often double. Taking His yoke would mean that His infinite strength would be pulling alongside us!
Also when we can move into trusting belief and past worry pleading for provision. So often our prayers are like "Dear God...worry...worry....worry...worry...In Jesus name, Amen." We can start praising and thanking and seeing Christ as more than useful. He then becomes beautiful. And we become Christ Adorers.
Lord help us to see that our real work is to believe. We want to adore you!
