Day 35
“But Jesus said to him, ‘No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God’” (Luke 9:62).
PLOWING WITH JESUS
Plowing and planting demands straight rows. In order to do this, some pick a spot at the other end of the field, point the tractor in that direction, and with their eye fixed on it, don’t get distracted.
The same is true for the leaders and members of a church striving to follow a Kingdom agenda – fix your eyes on Jesus and don’t look back! It may be a long way to the other end of the field. Such a journey demands persevering faith, determination, and patience. Don’t lose heart! Keep your eyes on Jesus!
PRAY…
Jesus, I am so grateful that You endured the cross, despising the shame, and now You have set down at the right hand of the throne of God, Your work of redemption finished! Thank You for finishing!! Please infuse me and our church family with grace, faith, hope, love, and joy in our own journey. Guide us through every obstacle, setback, difficulty, and challenge; make us overcomers; finishers! Perfect Your finishing ways in each of us. In Your Name, Amen.
