“Whoever
Does the Will of God” by Melanie Rigney (@melanierigney)
Then David offered burnt
offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. When he finished making these
offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the
Who is this king of glory? It
is the Lord! (Psalm 24:8)
“Here are my mother and
my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and

Jesus bless all the members of our
family and help me to love them as You do.
Study
That woman at work who’s always
right, right, right, and takes pleasure in telling you you’re wrong, wrong,
wrong.
That twenty-something guy who’s
watching his phone instead of his dog or the traffic light as he walks into the
intersection on a red light.
The person in the car ahead of you
who is driving the speed limit and there’s no way for you get into the other
lane because everyone else on the road is driving ten to fifteen mph over the
speed limit.
The barista who always gets
something wrong about your order even though it’s a simple grande decaf
cappuccino.
Yep. God loves them too, just as
much as He loves you. And for all you know, they’re doing His will in unseen
ways, perhaps better than you are. Yep. They’re your brothers and sisters and
mothers, just like the blood relatives with whom you have beautiful memories,
the ones for whom you’d give a kidney without hesitation.
So pray for them. And pray for
yourself, that you might grow to delight in them as He does.
Action
Offer your evening prayers for
someone who annoyed you today.
