"What will you do for us?" This was the question the crowds asked Jesus the day after He fed the five thousand. This question represents the heart of so many people today. They are only looking to Jesus for what He will do. It is like they are waiting in line to see another trick. To pay for another miracle. They are looking for another sign.
Yes, Jesus does so much for us, and He will continue to do mighty things in our lives. However, should not our posture be, at least some of the time, "Lord, what is it I can do for you?" Should we not ask, "Lord, is there an area I can sacrifice more? Is there a place in my life I can die more?"
The crowd was looking for another sign. Some, no doubt, was there because they thought they might get another free meal. Jesus told the crowds what they should do and that was to "believe in the one God has sent." However, they wanted to ask, "what will you do for us?"
May we humble ourselves and say, "Lord, I do believe, what can I do for you?" May we seek Him and not simply His hand. May we desire to experience His presence and not simply what He can do for us. May our prayer today be: "Lord, what can I do for you?"
This is today,
Pastor Gary
