When it comes to the subject of being a follower of Jesus, unless he calls you to a certain task don't do it. In Jesus' world common sense rarely makes sense. You may be born again and will for sure go to heaven, but unless you follow what he wants from you in service then you are useless to him. Some, even in the church, pack religious emotion around what seems like good service. Unless those ideas came from Jesus, they should have never been undertaken. Jesus tells us that we have been bought with a price and now our service must be to him as he desires. Apart from full surrender to him, our service is in vain.
Daily Prayer: Lord, often times we are like Peter. We try to come to you on our own terms. We are full of zeal, but our service soon fades. Help us by Your Spirit to yield to you and to turn it all over to you. This is the hardest thing in the world to do, because it involves dying to ourself so that we can live for you. Help us to put away the Old Man and walk in newness of life. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
