DOING THE WILL OF THE FATHER

“For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in His steps.”  (1 Peter 2:21 ESV)

Jesus... did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, but He did finish the work which God gave Him to do.  The only alternative to frustration is to be sure that we are doing what God wants. Nothing substitutes for knowing that this day, this hour, in this place, we are doing the will of the Father.  Then and only then can we think of all the other unfinished tasks with equanimity, and leave them with God. 

-- Charles E. Hummel in “The Tyranny of the Urgent”
