Chapter 43 - The Decision

Luke 9:57-62

57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."

 58 Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

 59 He said to another man, "Follow me." 
      But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

 60 Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."

 61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family."

 62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."

All that's needed is faith. To trust Him as we leave behind concerns, worries, insecurities, doubts and even the feeling of inadequacy despite however 'relevant' and 'justifyable' the reasons may seem to be to just follow Him, knowing that all things will be set in place for Him to use as He reveals the plans and purposes He has for our lives. 

This...Is Now...

My prayer is that we won't just be a generation that merely talks and FEEL passionate about something but is not willing to do anything about it by giving a 'justifyable' reason. We might just miss out on something great.

"Open my eyes, to see the things that make Your heart cry. To be a generation that You would desire, Your light to be seen. Break down my pride, and all the walls I've built up inside, my earthly crowns and all my desires, I lay at your feet.."

"Let hope rise, and darkness tremble in Your holy light. That every eye will see that Jesus is my God, great and mighty to be praised.."

"...for this is our God, great and mighty to be praised indeed."

"Amen"
