Good morning! I'm so excited to be at home ALONE for a few hours!!! I get to regain control of this house! Hope everyone's week is going great. Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!
S - Luke 14: 23-24 So his master said go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come so that the house will be full. For none of those I first invited will get even the smallest taste of my banquet.
14:26-28 "If you want to be my disciple you must hate everyone else by comparison - your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters - yes even your own life. Otherwise you cannot be my disciple. But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?"
O - I'm sitting here very overwhelmed by the seriousness of this passage. Jesus was making a very wide line in the sand. Counting the cost and accepting the invite is serious. Jesus wasn't and doesn't play games. He laid it out clearly what it took to be part of his kingdom. In my life now it doesn't cost me much to follow Christ, but I know there are people all over the world that the cost is very high. My situation would be more closely related to the Pharisees. I'm I listening and accepting and following through with the invitation he gives me to serve him daily?
A - Lord I don't want to be too busy. I want to be available to serve at all times no matter what is on my plate. God open my heart and take away selfishness and my rigidness to my calendar and schedule.
