A Daily Devotional About the glory and the
calling of God: Matthew
25:37 �Then the righteous will answer Him, �Lord, when did we see you hungry
and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? (NIV) Matthew
25:40 "The King will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did
for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' (NIV) Many times the call of God is not from the top of a mountain like Mt. Sinai, but from the very depths of our world and our society. The hungry and thirsty are not only those who are calling you, but God is calling you through them. When we see how others are in pain and hurt, when we see how others are down and need the love of God, when we pray for others because they are hurting, our responding to the call of God's little ones shows up in our life. When we help those in need our help shows up in our life and in their llife. When we clothe those who need clothing, when we feed the hungry, when we give to the poor, when we respond to the call of God from his sheep, our help shows up in them and in us. Seeing the glory of God is not just a matter of climbing up a mountain like Moses. Seeing the glory of God is a matter of seeing the needs of those around you and responding to those needs. We must not seek God for selfish reasons for if we seek God for selfish reasons we find Him only for a short time and we soon lose Him. When we seek God in selfless surrender, we find Him for eternity. When we seek God to help others because of their need and we help them also find Him, we will live in His glory and we will see Him each day. |
