Lord what do You want me to do?
'Lord what do You want me to do?'
It was an encounter that changed his life…Saul was a man of the strictest Jewish sect and in his own words was ‘zealous toward God’…but somehow he had missed the point. Then, one day, he met his Beloved and his life changed.
Imagine, that Lord Jesus were to walk into your room right now…what would you say? Well, Saul asked only two things…‘Who are You, Lord?’ and ‘Lord, what do You want me to do?’ (Acts 9:5,6). Once we begin to love and know the splendor and beauty of our King, we will arise and ask Him, ‘Lord what do You want me to do?’. As
So what is the will of God? Well, Lord Jesus says that ‘My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me’ John 4:34. In the same passage, He says ‘Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!’ (John 4:35). It is not a coincidence that Lord Jesus talks about His Father’s will and in the same breath, about the spiritual harvest…for they are one and the same. Immediately after, we hear of the Samaritan woman at the well, having met Lord Jesus, she fulfilled His will by bringing many to Him. And Saul, after being captivated by our wonderful Prince, spends his life as a laborer in the spiritual harvest!!! And these are just a few of the faithful in the cloud of witnesses, who together said, ‘it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.’ (Gal 2:20)
So, I challenge you to get to know Him more and ask Him, ‘Lord, what do You want me to do?’ ‘Come and let us go up to the mountain of Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways and we shall walk in His paths’ Micah 4:2.
‘It is the true duty of every man to promote the happiness of his fellow creatures to the utmost of his power; and that he who thinks he sees many around him laboring under a fatal error, must have a cold heart or a most confused notion of benevolence’
