‘“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.”’
John 4:34 NIV
No one had more energy than Jesus. He got up early, stayed up late, and sometimes pulled all-nighters. Where did He get all that energy from? The answer is found in a fascinating dialogue. ‘His disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.” But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?” “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work”’ (vv. 31-34 NIV).
When you see the word ‘food’, you think energy because that’s what food is. And Jesus makes an insightful point here: God’s will is energising. So, how do you keep yourself energised? By staying in the will of God. Engaging in God-ordained passions and pursuing God-sized dreams is how we produce energy. Nothing energises us more. Don’t just repent of doing what is wrong; replace it with what is right.
Paul writes: ‘Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labour in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]’ (1 Corinthians 15:58 AMPC). If sin is a waste of energy, which it is, then discovering and fulfilling your God-given assignment in life is the most energising thing that you can do.
