Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, "If anyone wants to be my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but he who loses his life because of Me and the gospel will save it. Mark 8:34,35
Priorities, priorities, priorities! Perspective, perspective, perspective!
What is important? What is our focus?
I know I am in real trouble when I attempt to force something to occur. Just as my computer warns me that if I force it to shut down I will lose information, Christ warns us to yield or we will lose life.
This past week has appeared to be a non-event, but has it? I have prayerfully proceeded, at a lot slower pace.
My earnest desire to break out into the open sky and fly consumes me but I will put a bit in my mouth, restrain myself and wait for the wind, for without it I will crash and burn.
Salvation is from my God, it is He alone that sees the distance clearly, me I see dimly. I will wait for Him and trust Him, His results are best.
