Luke 5-6 : trouble, faith & teaching
Got lots of good verses in tonight 's reading.
From the disciples being told they will be fishers of men. To skirmishes with the religious leaders of the day to the sermon on the mount. All very awesome stuff.
What I admire most about Jesus is that he never pulled any punches.
He confronted people who had forgotten that the point of knowing God is to have a heart focused on Him. He made it clear that if you are going to call on him then you need to listen when he leads and then do what He says.
And then we have the beatitudes. Jesus teaching on what people who live in the KingdOm of God should be like.
Once again Jesus makes it very simple, very clear- if you are to follow me then this is how you must be. Not when you feel like it, but all the time. Not just when it in easy but when it is hard too.
And so we are called to Love our enemies to Bless those who curse ,to give and Keep en giving to these only taKe and never give anything back.
Today I had a good day because I started it focused on Jesus and I asked Him to help me to give and give just like he did, even when I got nothing back .I asked Him to help me not to hear the lies of the devil but hear only him - and He said yes-and so my day was good not cos Better thingS happened But Because I was looking to God and seeing things through His eyes and not my own - thanks God
