Who Are You and What Are You Doing?

One night there was an old Rabbi walking home from a long journey and he accidentally took the wrong way at the fork in the road. So instead of being on the road home he was headed towards a roman military fort. As he wondered aimlessly in the dark a guard spotted him and said, “Stop. Who are you and what are you doing here?” There was a long silence so again he said, “Who are you and what are you doing here?” Well in typical Rabbi fashion he answered with a question with a question and asked, “how many wages do you make in a day?” The Roman soldier thought it a weird question but answered, “I make 50 coins a day.” The Rabbi said, “I’ll double your salary if you’ll come to my home and ask me those same questions every day.”

Who are you? If you are a believer you are His. That is all you need. No one, nothing, can ever take you away from Him. He will never push you away. Even in the midst of our sin when the relationship may be broken, we are still His.
What are you doing? Are you fulfilling His purpose for you or your purpose for you?

WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
