Episode 214: Luke 9

Today's meditation is on Luke Chapter 9

Jesus has given me the authority to use his name and the Holy Spirit's power flowing through me is able to cast out demons and cure diseases. I have been commissioned to preach the news of God's Kingdom. If I am not welcomed, I don't make a scene. I don't engage in arguments over God and his Word. I simply speak his Word -- without commentary. If it isn't accepted, I move on.

God is able to take whatever I have and multiply it into more than enough, just like Jesus did with the five loaves and bread and the two fish. He is a God of increase. He blesses what I have so I can use it for the Kingdom.

He is the Messiah, promised throughout the centuries. He lived and died and rose again. and I will follow him wherever he leads, and whatever may happen. 

My life is not my own, but I have submitted myself to serving him. I embrace whatever experiences come my way. Even when the way seems difficult, he is there, showing me how to get through it. 

Just as he sacrificed his life for me, I now sacrifice mine for him and in so doing, I find my true self. What good would it do for me to get everything the world has to offer, but lose my true self? 

I am not ashamed to follow him, wherever he leads. I treasure and ponder his Words. 

I know that God looks at my heart. My outward appearance means nothing. It is my spirit, not my body, that makes the difference.

My business is life -- the God-kind of life, and my mission is urgent: announce God's Kingdom, tell everyone the Good News. There is no time to procrastinate. This is not a time to look back, but forward. God's Kingdom can't be put off until tomorrow. 

So, I will seize the day and be about the Father's business.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
