Reading for Monday 6/19/17 from the LGG teaching on being "Sold Out"
Dear God,
First of all Father I would ask you to help me to stay more on time with my devotions for you and my devotion to you.
You are so much more faithful to me than I am to you and I want to see that change in my life. Help me Father to be more directly in tune with you than I am with all the other things that are constantly invading my eye gates, and my ear gates, and just my pea brain.
Today Father I am looking at Mark 1:16-20 and 3:17 and I will SOAP Mark 1:20
I titled this letter to you Father as "Straightway." If you look up this word you will find it to be quite powerful. Immediately is a synonym for this word. Which also means, this minute, directly, instantly...and so much more!
When Jesus was speaking to Simon and Andrew his brother, he said to put down your nets and I will make you fishers of men, and your word then tells us that they "straightway," put down their nets and followed after Jesus.
Now I know that that is the way we would like to be listened to, whether we are speaking to our sons and daughters, or our spouses. Wouldn't that be great. Say things one time, and your heard and obeyed!
We really need to do this! We have the best instruction manual in the world on how to live our lives. We read it on occasion and should follow what we read, but do we. Father you are so faithful!
S ~ Mark 1:20 And straightway He called them: and they left their father Zeebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after Him.
O ~ Okay now this may seem a bit harsh if you are the parent.
I think in all honesty my feelings would be a bit squished! However let's look at the bigger picture, look who stopped by along the riverbank and called to Simon and Andrew. Just think on that a moment. Talk about an engraved invitation!
A ~ Father I know that as we are reading your word and going to church on Wednesdays and some on Saturday evenings and Sundays we are to be learning from what You are trying to teach us. Your book, The Bible is an invitation for us to do the very same thing. You are asking us to straightway drop whatever we are doing and follow you. When we are out shopping and see someone who is in need of prayer, help us to have the gum shin to stop our shopping and take a moment and pray. Or if you see something that Holy Spirit is telling you is awesome and wonderful and beautiful, address it, don't let these moments slip past us.
P ~ Oh Father I feel so inadequate most of the time, I have a very busy schedule and I sometimes don't know which end is up. Help me Father to see with fresh new eyes, eyes from you Father, I want to respond as you would have me respond, not in a minute, but straightway. Thank you Jesus for allowing me to share these thoughts and verse for you, in your precious name I pray. Amen
