Running with Jesus

Luke 9:18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

Jesus alone praying! Look at the strong prayer life Jesus had and it says His disciples were with Him! Alone!
So, we have been running with Jesus almost 2 months this year. Let's do a little examination! How is your prayer life coming along? Some of us have been at this a long time others are new! Are you staying consistent? It takes a while to develop one but over time you will begin to realize it is the most important thing in your life. It is your life line. When you realize life is like a sea and deep divers need their life lines to keep them from being lost at sea. I just discovered they have a new lifeline that fits on your arm to help you not get lost. It signals an alert. Swimming under water in the deep you can lose visibility and be washed by currents. Currents are what gets us lost! We all lead such hectic lives and before long we are washed away! You have to take safety measures and training enables you to be deep divers. You must keep your lifeline in tack! So it is for us Christians, when we don't take time to pray the run will be risky that day! So keep running with Jesus everyday don't leave home without your life alert, prayer! You can bind Satan and protect your loved ones. At any moment we can send up an “SOS” when we are in full communication with our Father. 

Father, lead us not into temptation today and deliver us from the evil one. Lead us in paths of righteousness for Your name sake. For Yours is the power and kingdom forever! Amen

Tomorrow: Whom do you say I am?
