What would Jesus ask you today?

"What concern is it of yours?" - John 21:22.

You may invest a lot of energy worrying about or meddling in the affairs of someone else, just as Peter was doing when Jesus asked him today's question. That energy is better directed into your own work and world, and that involves knowing what Jesus wants you to do - His will for your life. Are you wasting energy trying to live other's lives? Is this a defense mechanism to keep you from pursuing God's plan for your life? What are the things that should concern you in the coming year? Read Philippians 3:7-11 and notice how focused Paul was on his own life and work; that is how focused you should be with your life.
