WHAT IS JESUS ASKING OF YOU TODAY?

Suppose God tells you to do something which is an enormous test to your common sense. Will you pull back and not do it? If you get into the habit of saying no to God, guess what? You will establish a priority in your life that says to Him, ”Lord, I will follow You; but….” Like the men in Luke 9:57-62 did. Once you put your foot to a thing, then never look back nor get side-tracked in doing it or you will once again fall away, or not be worthy to follow at all. While your worthiness does not count for your salvation, the effort you make to follow Christ reflects your affection for Him as well as the spiritual power that you possess to walk in Him. Never doubt in the darkness of your life the truth that God has shown you in those times of light. He is faithful to us, and requires the same from us.

The men in Luke 9 wanted so bad to follow Christ, for they knew who He was and believed in Him. yet when Jesus ask a thing of them, they were just unable to do it. Why? Because the scripture tells us that where our treasure is, there will our hearts be also. Those men’s hearts were tied to something that they were unwilling to give up, which lead to their rebuke and unworthiness to be a follower of Christ. Like a music or sports fan, we can also be a Jesus fan….yet Jesus wants more of us than simply to be His fan….He calls, yes even demands that we be true followers of Christ, not simply His fan. Where are you today in your walk with Christ? Is He asking a thing from you? What will you decide to do?

Loving you today.....Hold fast sweet friend and don't you dare give up! Do that thing that He may ask of you!
