Scripture: Luke 4:42
At daybreak Jesus departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowds were looking for him; and when they reached him, they wanted to prevent him from leaving them.
Thought for the Day: I want my own private Jesus who I control and have at my disposal. Not really, but there are people who seek a savior who is under their influence and direction. Such a religion would not be known as Christianity, but instead, idolatry. One of the great difficulties of being a follower of Jesus is to humble ourselves and actually follow. When teaching classes on Healthy Spirituality, I often ask the question, “Do you allow Jesus to have a vote in the important aspects of your life or is he simply a silent presence with no vote?”
Prayer: Amidst your grace, O Lord of Life, guide me in the ways of faithfulness. Amen.
