Good morning. Welcome to your Friday fry-up
Mark 7:37 (NKJV)
And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
What a great testimony that is of Jesus that He has done all things well. That is the sort of God He is, He does not do good in one area and average in another, but He does all things well. With everything He does He has one standard, to do it well.
Let us remember we have that same Jesus living in us and our lives are temples of His residence. Having His life and influence in us, I believe, will cause the same attitude in life to what we do. We also begin to desire more to do “all things well”.
It is a great thing to do something well but God wants to empower us to more than that. God’s best is not that we have a great church and a below average marriage but rather that we do all things well. For example, God not only wants that we do well in business, but that our health would be good also and not poor due to lack of much needed exercise and terrible eating habits.
God does not watch one segment of our life but He watches the whole orange and His desire is not that we do well in one or two segments only but that by His help we do well in all the segments. He wants every section of what makes us who we are in a place of prosperity and health.
Consider the orange of your life. Take a birds eye (Gods eye) view of all the sections of the pizza that is your life and ask some honest questions such as, “What areas am I doing well in and what sections do I need to let God help me to bring into better health?”.
Let our prayer be, “Jesus, by your life now living in me, help me to ‘do all things well’.”
Have a great weekend and never stop pressing in for more of God.
