Follow the Lord

But Jesus answered him, 
“Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.” 
MATTHEW 8 : 8-22


The Lord bless you and keep you! The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace! You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you.

Today is the time set by the Lord for you to follow Him wherever He goes. A time for action and not a time for concern. A time of trust and not a time of doubt. Let the wisdom of God solve all your problems and difficulties.

God gave you everything so that you can enjoy life to the full. Fullness of life comes to those who are doing good. Use God's blessings for the greater good and not waste them on useless and sinful pursuits. Remember that all good things happened to you because of the Lord.

The Spirit may convict you that you are living a sinful lifestyle, but pride will discourage your admitting it. Pride will convince you that you deserve better treatment. Pride brings you down, it is your relentless enemy. If you succumb to its influence, there will be consequences.  Humility, on the other hand, is pleasing to God and places your life in a position where God will honor you.

You have to realize and understand your defects. It is not the Lord who causes you to undergo pain and suffering, but it is your own doing. Your stubbornness has caused you all these troubles. You know how to live a good life, exercise them and all shall be well for you.
