John 20:28
Chambers says, “Beware
of anything that competes with loyalty to Jesus Christ.”
What in my life competes
with my full devotion to Jesus? He wants all of me for Himself. Does this mean
I need to stop everything I am doing: being a spouse, parent, employee, friend, and devote myself totally to reading God’s word and
prayer? Does even the work I do in ministry compete with my relationship with
Jesus? Do I find myself only wanting to soak in the Gospel message of Jesus’ love,
and the blessings of my Heavenly Father for my benefit alone?
My life should reflect
my love for and trust in Jesus. In all I do my relationship with Him should be
evident in every interaction. Even the most menial task I should do with joy
and thanksgiving. To prioritize my quiet time with Jesus, no matter how much
time that may be. That I try to be still and listen. That Jesus becomes number
one in my life above all else. I am called to squeeze out every last drop that
I have for His glory alone.
Chambers says, “We
should be pouring out now, spending to the last limit, not drawing on Him to
satisfy us.”
Psalm 19:14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
