Then Come Follow Me.Matthew 19:21b
I am a lover of God yet last night I sat at my piano and played an old song: 'to God be the Glory' as I played it I felt drawn and again this morning I played it on my ukelele and it compels me to more.
The above scripture is a part of Jesus' invitation to the rich young ruler to leave all and follow Him. Today I am compelled to lay aside all and follow Him, spend time in His heart and to enter His heart I need to worship Him.
As I spend time in His heart I am washed, sanctified by Him and His thoughts become my thoughts, and His ways my ways.
I have been away and not had fellowship for three weeks, I need to be in church and worship my God. Reading my bible and writing my blog does not constitute fellowship, it is peripheral stuff, it is the bare minimum to keep me going until I can spend time before Him, and with Him, with others.
Fellowship is important, we are not meant to be lone rangers. I cannot imagine each cell in my body being independant and surviving for long alone, they all are dependant on each other to really function well.
My God instituted the church for a reason, we cannot survive for long alone unless we are compelled to, as in prison and then grace is given to us for that time.
Get to church!
