March 1
Running with Jesus
Luke 9:62 "And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

     Well here it is, my verse for the ministry! Put your hands to tho plough runners. I love that little song "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus, No turning back". I can't tell you how many times in my spirit I have had a vision of me standing behind an old mule plough with images of blisters on my hand, digging a tough hard field, and repeating no man looking back is fit for the kingdom of God! There is a book called “Parenting Isn't for Cowards" I am here to say ministry isn't for cowards! Thankfully we have a loving Father who strengthens us! Are you in a tough place today maybe you need this verse and be reminded that looking back you are not fit for the kingdom! We must stay focused straight ahead! A farmer ploughs by setting his eyes upon an object at the end of the row to keep it straight. I hear now days they just set a computer button. That would be nice if our faith walk was like this! In our faith walk we are to fix our eyes upon Jesus the author and finisher of our race. So if you are struggling today focus on Jesus and dig in!

Father encourage that one out there today that feels like giving up. Help them see your face and renew their strength like Eagles! Help them walk and not grow weary!' Help us realize we work for You and not man. Supply their every need! 

Pray for running workers tomorrow!
