Day #129 – The Will To Follow
Dear God I’m Grateful For The Will To Follow
.
Prior to last year, I would have never imagined a life where I could pick up and go at a moments notice. I was so accustomed to working 80 hours a week, I was unwilling to rest or take time off due to fear of losing my job, disappointing others, or not making enough money to sustain my living.
.
I am so happy that God delivered me from that mindset as well as that lifestyle, because I was slowly killing myself both physically and spiritually. In this season, I move when the Lord says move and go where he wants me to go. I always had the freedom, but it took a renewed mindset to actually live with a willingness to obey when God says move.
.
Take Matthew for example, “As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.” – Matthew 9:9 NLT
.
I can only imagine what went through Matthew’s mind in that moment. To be a tax collector, making money, and receive a personal invitation to follow the man whom all call The Messiah and Savior?
.
Without doubt, hesitation, or second thoughts, Matthew had the Will to move. He dropped his job, left everyone he knew and followed Jesus. He made serving Jesus his first priority and as the text so simple put it, “ Matthew got up and followed him.”
.
I allowed work to keep me bound and stop me dropping everything to follow Jesus. Once I made Jesus my priority, I stopped working for man and started following Him and working for His Kingdom.
.
“Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.”
John 12:26 NLT
