WHO'S TENDING THE STORE?
Matthew 8:1
"When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him."
So, if everyone is following Jesus, who's tending the store? These people understood that there were more important things in life than making a living, sweeping the house, or vacationing at the beach. In the Beatitudes, Jesus had touched their lives profoundly as He spoke of the real issues of life with authority. The answers to life's questions – why am I here; what is my purpose for living; where am I going – are answered with spiritual insights, not worldly or material stuff. I can try to make sense out of my existence by filling it with "things," but only following Jesus will answer the deep longings of my heart.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Only Jesus can satisfy the soul.

Have a God-filled day. Love.
