Scripture: Hebrews 13 v 20 21:
"Now the God of peace, that brought again from the
dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the
everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will,
working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ,
to whom be glory forever and ever.
Amen."
Our God and His Son, Jesus, have one aim with us and that
is to make us perfect in every good work. Our aim should be exactly the
same. We want to do that which pleases
our Lord Jesus and hear at the end of our journey through life, "Well done
good and faithful servant, enter into your rest."
Jesus is working on you every moment of every day -
talking to you, talking to God about you, looking for ways to bless you or
change you so that you can receive a blessing. Jesus is in a full on
relationship with every born again saint but often finds little response from
us. We are so busy with our own things and issues that He is forgotten, yet He
can sort out our things and fix our issues if we would only invite Him to do
so.
The ultimate perfection is when you are flowing with
Jesus spiritually all the time and doing His will rather than your own. When
you flow in harmony with Him your life becomes blissful. The cares of the world
disappear and you accomplish so much seemingly without effort.
Jesus is our peace and His peace flows within us
constantly so we may spread peace around. and those who are troubled will have
their burdens lifted by His peace touching their lives. The abundance of peace
in a person who is doing God's perfect will speaks louder than many sermons.
No matter how conflicting the world is becoming, the love
and peace of Jesus keep us in perfect comfort. Even in the midst of turmoil if
you have given Jesus your time and made the changes He wants to see in you, His
peace and presence will never leave you. So if you have neglected your
relationship with Him and left things undone, today is the day He wants to make
you perfect.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I want to be a pleasing child
who adores You. I lay my life before You
and ask You to make me perfect today. Use the power in the blood of Jesus to
change every contrary thing in me so I come into perfect harmony with You. Let
Your peace and love flow through me to the lost and sorrowful who need You
most. In Jesus' name. Amen.
