Today’s Thought “We’re ALL God’s Children?” G. Ward

John 4

 ²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

We, as recipients of the gospel, should offer spiritual hospitality to others needing what we undeservingly have been gifted through Christ, that is forgiveness of sins onto eternal life, to then mercifully extend that same lifeline to any through discipleship, we’re compelled to know that not everyone will embrace this magnificent message by obeying HIS commands. Instead, many wait for messaging that distorts God’s realities, which includes knowing segments of HIS Holy script, and equating that knowledge as sufficient; while neglecting to see that to obey is HIS demand.

We’re in an era where opinions saturate the airwaves and some are determined to undermine God’s Word. Just yesterday, I heard someone say, there were people here before the first two, discounting the Truth of God’s Word as absolute, while still saying I believe. Our theme on today is with a command that insists, we “must worship in spirit and truth.” Therefore, defensive shouts of “I know HIM too” can be lip service over spiritual adherence. For true believers must submit to ALL our Creator’s words found from Genesis to Revelation (*2 Pe.1:20-21); making an internal determination to allow HIS spiritual transformation of us to occur (John 3:3).

Father God, You’ve given us the fruit tree analogy that insists an apple tree won’t produce oranges and it’s indicative of belief from us regarding Who we’ve placed our trust in. The seed implanted in us should unfold blossoms from Your Word; yet, if our pursuit of Truth neglects being spiritually equipped, even daily, weeds and thistles block our spiritual compliance to Your guiding us. So, we pray for any listening on today, that each would identify with new determination that ensures Your will be done for their lives and for Your glory, in Jesus Name, Amen.
