Then He went up the mountain and summoned those He wanted, and they came to Him. Mark 3:13

There are times when God moves on and in a direction that we don't particularly want to travel. Here Jesus goes up a a mountain. This afternoon I went for a walk up a mountain with a friend and our dogs. It was very steep and the path was covered with gravel which makes it very slippery.

It had rained a few days ago and the path had mud puddles in the process of drying out. We met various people on the track and many dogs. My girlfriend's dog was attacked by a Labrador and looked like it would be injured.

Going down the hill I slipped and had to walk down the remainder sideways to avoid a catastrophe, the path down was very steep.

Jesus called who He wanted to take along to go with Him and they went. I am grateful they went. I have to keep myself mindful to go when called.

The following verses we find that Jesus chose His team on the mountain. Imagine if they had passed up the mountain?

Stay flexible, malleable to the Lord and don't set up barriers or excuses or you might just miss out on the best thing that ever happened in your world. don't insist that the only way something will happen is 'this way' or 'that way', you could be seriously wrong.
