It is the Lord!
“IT
IS THE LORD!”

said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God!’” (John 20:28)

said to her, ‘Give Me a drink’ (John 4:7). How many of us are expecting Jesus
Christ to quench our thirst when we should be satisfying Him! We should be
pouring out our lives, investing our total beings, not drawing on Him to
satisfy us. “You shall be witnesses to Me . . .” (Acts 1:8). That means lives
of pure, uncompromising, and unrestrained devotion to the Lord Jesus, which
will be satisfying to Him wherever He may send us.
Beware of anything that competes
with your loyalty to Jesus Christ. The greatest competitor of true devotion to
Jesus is the service we do for Him. It is easier to serve than to pour out our
lives completely for Him. The goal of the call of God is His satisfaction, not
simply that we should do something for
Him. We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in Him
battles. Are we more devoted to service than we are to Jesus Christ Himself?
