September 7 "Live in the Present" John 7

Jesus walked and did good in Galilee, not in Judea. For He knew His time had not yet come to die---and the Jews sought to kill him. Yet in Galilee, they wanted Jesus to produce miracle after miracle for those who didn't believe. Two take-aways here: 1. Wherever God has placed you, in your own Galilee, do good there. Don't wait or live or yearn for your Judea. Live in the moment. Live in the present. 2. Worldly policy dictates that we should be taken care of. Heal me. Fix me. Make sure I am comfortable. Do we live for the glory of God and His Will? Or do we live for ourselves. "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, from within Him will flow rivers of living water." John 7:38
