What a friend we have in Jesus…..’ – song refrain
Enoch and God were such good walking buddies God just took him home one day and kept him. Hmm!
To many Christians, ‘faith’ is a verbal profession or confession, but not really a way of life. Jesus is looking for the latter rather than the former. He knows those who ‘profess’ him with their lips but their heart is far from him. The question we must continually ask ourselves is whether our acquaintance with the Master is a passing fad (something to do like everyone else) or rather the very touchstone of our lives. Jesus doesn’t want us to be run-of-the-mill, follow the crowd kind of people, We’re to be “new creations” each and every day. Just as we know that it’s hard to be friends and hang out with someone you don’t have a lot in common with, Jesus knows it too. Are you willing to walk with him wherever He chooses to lead, or will you only allow Him to lead you in the direction you’ve already decided to go? He’s waiting!
Until tomorrow….

“…If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.” – Luke 9:23
