Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him." Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent." (John 6:27-29)
With God, success is not about reaching our goals, but what our goals are. If we reach goals that are not the Lord’s perfect will for us, then we are not truly successful. Success in God’s eyes depends entirely on what and who we are working for.
“Don’t labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life…”
In other words, do not spend your life chasing things that will not matter in the end. Spend your life knowing and obeying Jesus Christ, who is the Bread of Life.
"This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
What God evaluates is our faith in Jesus. That is all — nothing else! How liberating it is to know that God has given us such a short to-do list!
Let's Pray - Dear Father, thank You for teaching me what success truly means. I want to be found in You, and my values are those of the Kingdom of Heaven. In Jesus, Amen.
