It’s going to happen with or without you. Of course, I’m praying every day that you’re all in with all of us. According to Jesus, actions speak way louder than words.

 

Read Matthew 21:28-32.

 

We’ve all had times when we said yes, but then we didn’t follow through. This time is going to be different. It is!

 

The best way to see our words become reality is to start. Sounds simple, but it’s where a lot of people get hung up. They don’t take the first step.

 

“Fear not that your life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning.” -John Henry Newman

 

“The greatest tragedy in life is that most people spend their entire lives indefinitely preparing to live.” -Paul Tournier

 

Wow. 

 

Back to Jesus’ story. Which son (or daughter) are you going to be?

 

I say we ALL start together…and start now!

 

 

Prayer thought:

 

Take a few moments right now to be still in the presence of God. Clear your mind and invite His presence. While there are steps He is inviting us to take, and things He has for us to do, be careful to not go without Him. Keep your focus on Him and not the step. Keep your eyes fixed upon Heaven. Ask for wisdom and clarity in what He is calling you to do, but make sure to be earnestly seeking Him in the process. 

 

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”  (2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV)
