Episode 236: John 7

Today's meditation is on John Chapter 7

Jesus' own brothers didn't believe in him and made fun of him. But Jesus answered to a higher calling -- that of Father God. He waited on his timing. He knew he would be hated by the world because he openly pointed out evil. 

Some people believed he was a good man, others believed he was a fraud deceiving the people. And a few believed he was the Messiah. But when he taught, those who heard him knew there was something different about him. He spoke with wisdom and authority. His message was not his own it came from Father God who sent him.

He spoke with such power and authority, that even the guards sent to arrest him returned empty handed saying "we have never heard anyone speak like this."

I want to do the will of God, and Jesus spoke the Father's will. He didn't seek glory for himself, but honored the Father by speaking truth, not lies. 

In order to judge correctly, I have to look beneath the surface. Things are not always as they appear outwardly. It is human nature to look on outward appearance, but God looks on the heart and knows the motives of my every thought and action.

Because Jesus did the Father's will, walking in and living out his divine purpose, nothing could happen to him until his time had come. The same is true in my life. If I live my life aligned with God's will, walking in and living out the purpose I was created for by Father God, no evil can befall me. I am under God's covenant of protection.

I was thirsty, and Jesus called me to himself and gave me living water. Rivers of living water flow from my heart. Holy Spirit is available to everyone who believes in him. That's why Jesus had to return to the Father, so the Comforter could come. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
