 The
Bible confirms that God has spoken. We are able to hear "the
whole will of God" (Acts 20:27). We can "stand firm
in all the will of God, mature and fully assured" (Colossians
4:12). This is more than head-knowledge or theory. We are empowered
to succeed: "not to live the rest of his earthly life for
evil human desires, but rather for the will of God" (1 Peter
4:2).
Every person's
life is a race. But it does not have to be the rat-race, a frantic
"running for dinner." That kind of contest ends in
exhaustion and emptiness. How much better to "run for your
life!" You can recognize the real stakes and run to win.
Of course, even that race must end. Yet - like Aesop's winner
- our run ends, not in death, but in renewed life. The Father
welcomes us with the greatest prize of all, never ending life
with Him! You will say with the victorious Paul, "I have
finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store
for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous
Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but
also to all who have longed for His appearing (2 Timothy 4:7-8).

Those
who don't know God's will chase material things for 'living.'
We should aim much higher, seeking the Life-Giver Himself! We
seek "His kingdom," His reign over us and in us and
his His will for us. This is "doing the will of God from
the heart" (Ephesians 6:6). Like Jesus, the Father's will
becomes our food. This is the true "health food," for
its benefit endures far beyond the grave. "The world and
its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives
forever" (1 John 2:17).
