Scripture: John 21:22 Jesus answered, \u201cIf I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Observation: That\u2019s me sometimes always concerned about someone else or coveting what someone else has, instead of focusing on what I\u2019m suppose to do. I make excuses when I know I\u2019m not doing enough for God that others don\u2019t do as much as I do. I sound like the Pharisee who was bragging before God instead of humbling myself saying I can\u2019t possibly do enough to repay God for all He has given me and for as much as He loves me.<\/p>\n
Application: There is only one person I have control of and that\u2019s me. My focus should be on following God and doing all that I can do without being concerned about any one else. Just yesterday Teri asked can I do all the things I\u2019ve signed up at church to do and I told her I wasn\u2019t sure. I\u2019m not sure because I don\u2019t know how they are going to affect the things I want to do for myself. God is my number one priority and serving him comes first.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord show me how to follow you. Take me by the hand and lead me through this world in glory and honor to you. I have one purpose and that is to follow you and do your will. Help me finish the task you set before me. I love you so much, but I need your help and strength to please you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
