Thy Will Be Done

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
We live in a world of short-term memory.  Yesterday's news is so... yesterday.  So most of us have forgotten that a little over a chapter before, as Jesus told us how to pray, He said: "Thy Will Be Done."  Live life to do what God wants.  Jesus came preaching and performing miracles, but even more so demonstrating what He taught and said. He was "love come down."  Following Jesus is not just what we say or even do.  God is not impressed by any demonstration of power on our parts - especially if done to impress or seek to show spirituality. He wants to see us live life to please and serve Him.  Do not go to worship today to impress God or anyone else. Go as a forgiven sinner, trusting in Him, standing together in His presence with other forgiven sinners, to worship Him and seek His will.
