“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34).
“We should not be seeking to do our own will but the will of Him who redeemed us. The highest position in the world is to be where God wants us to be, to do what God wants us to do, to stand where God wants us to stand. To be for Christ, 'Just to hear Him softly say: Fear not, though the world forsake you, Lo, I'm with you alway.' God is never ashamed to come down to abide with, and endue with all heavenly power, anybody who resolves with fear and trembling to be wherever God wants him to be.
“Standing upon the Word of God gives us matchless joy and His grace helps us to do what pleases Him. The overcomers of old were joyfully passing through death into Heaven. The Bible makes us to understand that they left this world for life eternal. It may cost us affliction and persecution. Jesus Himself faced bitter opposition while he was on earth but that did not matter to Him at all. What mattered to Him was that the will of God should be done and should prevail. When a great agony was very close to Jesus, He prayed for a full surrender of His body, heart and life to God in order to do God's will. This is an example for us too.
“A Christian must not run away from whatever comes his way along this narrow road. Indeed, it is a strait road but we must have faith in God, come what may, and make sure that we are on God's side. We shall have victory no matter the seriousness of any situation. Jesus overcame, and we too shall overcome.
