Title: It is the will of God in Jesus Christ that you do your best for Him every day, in everything you do, always give it your best shot, do it with all your strength, all your heart, mind and soul. You need therefore to ask for strength for everyday.
“Then Samson called to the LORD, saying, “O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!””
Judges 16:28 NKJV
“And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.”
Luke 10:27 KJV.
Child of God it is the desire of God that in all that you do, give it your best shot, do it with due diligence, do it as unto Christ not as unto men, do not be men-pleasers, always seek to please God. Do it with all your heart, for best results. To be able to this you need to ask for grace and strength for everyday. Remember the prayer of Samson at his last act- O Lord God remember me I pray, strengthen me, just this once! Loving the Lord our God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind essentially means whatever you put your mind, your strength, your emotions to do, do it your best as unto the Lord not as unto men. Ask for strength "just this once". That is why Ephesians 6:6-7 says: "Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men" .
When you do all things with all your heart, you have no regrets. You look back and say I did the best I could.
Point of reflection: Do you desire to do all things as unto Jesus Christ, with all your strength, with all your heart, and with all your mind, not as men- pleasers but as servants of God. When you do, you fill the world with the love of Jesus Christ, the flavour and light of Christ. If you do-
Prayer: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for the grace in Jesus Christ, the grace that saved me. Today Father I pray for strength, to serve you with all my heart, mind and soul. To do all things as unto Christ, not as unto men. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
