What is my why?

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. (Colossians 3:23-24)

What is my why? Why do we do what we do when we do it and why are we always doing it? Why are we so focused on some things over others? Many things we do out of habit . . . even praying. Yet the things we look forward to doing . . . the things we just love to do . . . is where our heart really is. 

Our why is our heart! Jesus was clear when He reiterated the simple challenge from way back in the Old Testament in the Book of Deuteronomy:

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. (Matthew 22:36-38/Deuteronomy 6:5)

We do not love God out of habit. It should show in ALL we do. We should seek to please Him with every breath, in all we do. Why? . . . because of all He has done for us we do all we can do for Him!

What is your why today?
