Walking with Him

Luke 9:57

As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

Every consideration of following Jesus, using logic and forgoing the direction of the Holy Spirit and the inspiration of the Holy Word, will end up in a decision of "no" or "not now."  Without faith in the Word of God or through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will follow the callings of our flesh which are never ready to be laid down at the feet of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Praise God that He knows us so well, loves us still, has mercy on us and provides His Son for our salvation.  May we claim all that He has set aside for us because He sees us, not in the flesh, but in the image of His Son.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for accepting us as heirs to Your kingdom.  We rejoice in knowing that You see us only in the image of Your Son who has washed away all of our iniquity with His precious blood.  We pray, Lord, that You open our minds and hearts to the fullness of Your Holy Word.  We ask that You show us how to fully surrender to the direction of the Holy Spirit in our lives.  We beseech You, Father, to give us the grace to fall at the feet of the Cross so that we may walk in the way, the truth and the life that is in Your Son, Jesus.
