"I have brought You glory on
earth by completing the work You gave Me to do." - John 17:4
The Lord has revealed to us that the number one thing we are
to do is love the Lord our God with all our heart and to love our neighbor as
ourselves. His desire is for us to know Him and the power of His resurrection.
These mandates deal with our relationship with Him. The fruit of this
relationship must then result in our glorifying Him by completing the work He
has given each of us to do. It will become a by-product of this relationship,
not an end in itself.
What is the work God has called you to do? Jesus never did
anything the Father had not instructed Him to do. He lived in such communion
with the Father that He knew when to turn left and when to turn to the right. Is
it possible to have such a relationship with our heavenly Father? I think that
if it weren't, He would not have given us such an example.
"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and
unsearchable things you do not know" (Jer. 33:3). What has He called you to do?
Perhaps you are called to be the best CPA in your city or the best advertising
executive or the best office worker or assembly line person in your company.
Whatever work He has called you to do, He will use you as His instrument to
accomplish something that He has uniquely prepared you to do.
When our life is complete, what a glorious day it will be if
we can each say, "I have completed the work You gave me to do." This will have
brought great glory to Him.
