Had To Pass Through Samaria

[S] John 4:4,6 --
 ⁴And He had to pass through Samaria.
 ⁶and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

[O] As you know, Jesus didn't have to do anything but He chose to pass through Samaria with a purpose -- to meet this Samaritan woman at the well.  He didn't have to be born into this world just to die on the Cross but He chose to do just that.  Because He was a full human, his body was wearied from the long journey He took to meet this woman; and for the same reason He was physically broke down when he took the path of the Cross.  Why all this for?  Because He had the purpose of being the pure sacrifice to wipe away clean our sins.  To the last breath He took, He chose to live out a purpose-driven life here on earth.

[A] Being wearied cannot be an excuse for not choosing to live out God's purpose for my life.  I am physically beaten lately due to many things going on and tendency is to put my life on neutral and just coat along for a while but Jesus' model here encourages me to switch my focus on how I may live out an intentionally driven life for God's purpose for me.  This means even if I may slow down a little to give some breathing space, I must go to God with urgency to find out His calling for me so I may live it out intentionally.

[P] Dear Father, continue to show me Your ways and purpose for my life.  I want to overcome the weariness by going all out to live out Your purpose for me almost like a good offense is good defense.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
