Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.Galatians 5:24
In the subdivision I live in there is much new home construction going on and several contractor trailers parked on the street. They are locked and left there and ‘booted’ kind of like when a patrolman will boot a vehicle that has been stolen.
Made me think of how many of us might put a ‘boot’ of sorts on Jesus. Just for Sunday one hour but don’t go crazy and take things too seriously like a ‘Jesus freak’. My response would be how do you expect to receive power and walk in victory going through ‘religious motions’ one hour a week.
Only the Holy Spirit can draw a person unto Christ. Continue to pray for those you know who seem cold or lukewarm to things of the Lord. And examine your own heart to see how much you really love and are devoted to the Lord.
PRAYER: I want to never be ashamed of the Lord nor put other things ahead of my time for worship each Sunday, and I ask for a burning passion to let the things of the world take second place to the Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
A very special message in these uncertain times.
