What have you done for His Kingdom lately? Notice the question wasn’t where have you
served, what committees are you involved with, how many hours did you
volunteer, or how many meals did you serve at the shelter. While each of these
works is good, they may not be what God is calling you to do. In fact, you might be so tied up in good
deeds that you miss all that God has planned for you!
The second caution we were presented is this: Make sure your works are His good works. We advance the Kingdom best when we are doing
exactly what our Father has called us to do.
Instead of focusing on what
we should be doing for His Kingdom, we should be focusing on our relationship
with Jesus. This relationship will
produce fruit in our lives.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith— and this is not
from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us
to do.
Ephesians 2:8-10
