DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- 24/7
Matthew 8:19-20
"Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, 'Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.' And Jesus said to him, 'Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.' "
Jesus was trained by His father as a carpenter. He could have built himself a nice home as a base of operations to go back to after a day of ministry. But His focus was not on creature comforts. It was a full time job. When the scribe said, "Wherever," Jesus made him understand that he would have to leave it all to follow Him. It was a full time commitment – not a part time or weekend job. Following Jesus may mean some deprivation and hardship, but it is certainly a 24/7 life-style.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Following Jesus is a 24/7 commitment.
[end]
Have a 24/7 day. Love you.
