Running with Jesus 2015

Luke 9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

     This is what we heard Jesus tell that Whithersoever man yesterday!   Jesus never owned a home while on this earth! This is kind of funny for us Americans because the American dream is to own a home! My in-laws were in the ministry and never owned a home! I don't think it was owning a home that is the problem. The problem was that mans goals in life are possessing and demanding so much energy that he had no time or desire to walk with God. We are told we are in this world and we have to function in this world but when we live as though we are never going to leave this world and die we have a major problem. When we come face to face with the decision we have to make in regard to life we have to understand it is not in how much we own or possess down here it is about eternal life! We must decide to follow Jesus!  Others are following you where are you leading them! 

Oh Jesus, no matter where You ask us to go help us have a willing spirit to follow You! Help us not lead others in the wrong way! Help us not be so preoccupied with things we miss heaven!

      I have to include a picture a friend posted with this devotion because every day we stand between someone going to heaven or hell! Where is your priority? Is it about getting bigger homes and things that will be left behind or about your soul or a lost soul? Just saying!

Tomorrow: More excuses why we don't run with Jesus!
