Re: Verse reading–Exodus 20:12; Luke 2:45-52; John 19:25-27 (day four) When Jesus remained back at the Temple and His parents finally missed Him, they searched and found Him in the middle of the teachers. Jesus’ response was “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?” From early in His life, this was His driving goal…to be about His Father’s business. John 4:34 says, “Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work’.” John 5:36 says, “…for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish–the very works I do—testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.” Is that our driving goal in life? Are we so concerned with doing God’s work He has for us, that we lose track of things that are going on around us? Do others recognize this goal as a driving force in our lives? The result of a ‘yes’ to these questions just might be favor with God!
