Running with Jesus
Luke 10:4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way
(Travel light. Comb and toothbrush and no extra luggage.)
I love this translation of this verse. The disciples were told to travel light! Isn't it funny how we are constantly trying to buy and live at home in this world!
I sat in my mom’s room at Dove looking around, there she sat with only the clothes on her back and a couple of angels her mom made! She had very little need for things. Things are not bad but they can become luggage to weigh us down and stop our obedience to spread the gospel!
The disciples were totally dependent upon God to provide and a very real witness. They saw so many miracles as they traveled and trust God to totally provide.
Father, help us to not get so attached to things on this earth that can hinder our focus. Lead us to love the simple things we have and remind us we live here temporarily! Let us experience the miracles along the way. Thank You for always being faithful to us!
Let's remember to travel light in this world. It is just stuff and souls are more important and where we end up after this life. So take off the things weighing us down!
Tomorrow : Jesus will instruct runners on sharing with others.
