Doing God's will

​s-Mark 3:31-35 NIV

31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived.Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

O - Here we see as Jesus ministry is growing and more and more people are following and pressing in on Him,  He is forming a distinct relationship with his disciples.   He is sitting down amongst the crowd when his mother and brothers arrive and are seeking to be with Jesus.  Jesus reveals that his relationship with those close to Him , who are following Him and doing the will of the Father are now like mother, brother, and sister to him. 

A - The application for me is to seek to do the will of the Father.   Jesus came to die for my sins and restore the relationship with God the Father.   I am to do His will for my life and become his true son.  

P - Dear Heavenly Father thank you for today's devotion may it be sealed to my heart.  I pray Lord you help me do your will for my life and be worthy to be called your son.  I pray all this in Jesus Christ name, Amen.
