Lord, today I choose to follow You. When You created me in Your image You also gave me free will to do as I choose. It’s on me to follow wherever Your Spirit leads. You didn’t come to drag me along, kicking and screaming. You never promised Your followers a life of ease, without troubles, trials, broken hearts, or whatever life’s stuff throws at me. Whoever came up with that misguided “genie-in-a-bottle” theology didn’t know You. You don’t respond to selfish “Gimme this! Gimme that!” prayers. You’re not that kind of God. You’re the Holy Sovereign Lord God Almighty.
You sent Your only Son Jesus to save us. He simply invites us. “Follow Me. I’m leading you on the adventure of your lifetime. You won’t regret it! It’s your choice.” (Psalm 119:30, 31)
When I became Your follower, You promised Your Holy Spirit would come live within me. You would forgive my sins forever; I’d no longer be condemned. You’d never leave me or forsake me. You promised to work all things for my good. Your Spirit gives me power over the enemy of my soul, love for others —especially those who are a challenge to love—and a sound mind to discern spiritual things. You promised nothing in this physical world or unseen world will ever separate me from Your love. In my weakness, You promised Your grace would strengthen and equip me to do what I cannot do on my own. And when I leave here, You promised I’ll share the glories of Heaven with You.
Lord, living for You is quite a ride! Amen.
THANKFUL
