A
reminder for today
So
Elisha returned to his oxen and slaughtered them. He used the wood from the
plow to build a fire to roast their flesh. He passed around the meat to the
townspeople, and they all ate. Then he went with Elijah as his assistant. (1
Kings 19:21)
Taking up God’s call is something we can sometimes
struggle with. We hear God’s voice and we know what God wants us to do, but do
we do it? Do we act like we did not hear, or do continue to wait for more
confirmations or do we resist?
Gideon had a few issues and needed confirmation, but he followed
God and trusted God completely. David took up the challenged and defeated a
giant. Moses faced Pharaoh and Peter left his job as a fisherman and followed
Jesus.
How do you follow Jesus? Do you first have a few personal
things that you need to do and then once you are done with that and finally
decided what you think you should do, then only do you start on your way
towards Jesus.
My dear friend, I want to say to you that following Jesus
should not just be a decision, but a way of live. Everything we do or attempt
should be for His glory and as He wants us to do it. The way we talk to people,
the way we do our work, the way we deal with rejection and failure, the way we
drive, the way we talk on the phone to difficult people or annoying telesales
consultants and the way we look at other.
Jesus showed compassion to all. He did not frown upon
those whom other rejected and He certainly did not speak to people in a bad
manner. He loved to teach and kept on doing it even when He was tired. In the
end He gave His life to people that hated Him and crucified Him. And all that
He did was as God wanted it, and not out of His own free will.
How do you deal with people, good and bad and how do you
react to God’s call and God’s voice?
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
