Reading for Tuesday 6/20/17 from the LGG teaching on being "Sold Out"
Dear God,
What happens to my days, Father?
Do I miss manage my time, I want so badly to be here at this keyboard pouring my thoughts and heart out to you each and every day...Help me Father to do just that!
Okay so here it is Sunday morning and I am working on Tuesday. What do you think of that?
S ~ So the reading for the 20th is Luke 9:51-56 and the soap is Luke 9:53-55 And they did not receive Him, because His face was as though he should go to Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, Lord , wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them even as Elias did? 55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
O ~ Can you imagine being on the road, a dirt road mind you, and all you have on your feet is thin leather sandals. And you are walking for days, with just a brief respite here and there.
Can you imagine how extremely bone tired these men must have been? And then there was Jesus. My thought would be that He would have been not only bone tired, but oh so weary. He was away from his Father, except when He was in prayer with Him, and He knew what He was heading towards. I know, that my Christ, willing sacrificed Himself for me. I still struggle with what He did for me and for all of you that might be reading this blog, and I hope you are reading it thoughtfully. Just imagine.
So Jesus and the disciples where heading towards Jerusalem, but Christ wanted to stop in a town that laid ahead. Did he know that these Samaritans would not want Him there? Did He know the response the disciples would have to the rejection? "Let's just burn the town down!" No this was not the response Jesus was looking for, was it. The message is still the same, we are to Love men, not destroy men.
A ~ So how do we apply this to us? If we are smitted on one check, offer the other. If someone speaks out of turn to us, how should we respond? We should respond with some thought and not brashly. With Love. Is this always the way we should respond? I think yes. will there be extenuating circumstance on occasion, I think probably so. Try to always keep uppermost in your mind, What would Jesus do?
P ~ Oh Father God, there are some times when I am studying your word that I think how do I do this? There is only one answer to this and that is with your help. Father make this be my desire to want to behave always as you would have me to behave. Not as fleshly desires, but as you would desire for me, as a child of yours. I ask this in Jesus precious and most Holy name. Amen
