No one has any clue how dependent we become to our phones until it dies on you. For whatever reason, last night I couldn’t get my phone to take a charge. I have three different cords and none would work. The phone was working all day, but??? I will check it out after church and see what the problem is.
My scripture reading for today is Judas betraying Christ. This is the ultimate betrayal. Knowing Christ knew He was being betrayed didn’t stop Judas. He did it anyway. Of course, only a few hours later, Peter joined in his own betrayal. All of a sudden, even after spending about three years under Christ’s mentoring and experiencing His miracles, they still didn’t know this Savior and Lord.
Today, we know so much more about Jesus Christ. We have freedom to worship Him, pray freely and openly, tell others about Him. Yet, how many times have I not followed through when I knew I was being nudged by The Holy Spirit to take a step for Jesus? There is no threat for us to obey Christ in our country. Why do I question when there is no doubt in my mind that Christ is Who He says He is?
The sinfulness/selfishness/pride of flesh is always with us while here on earth. I do long to be free of flesh and the battle it brings. Yet, I commit to live for Christ this very day. Tomorrow I will make the same commitment! For to me to live is CHRIST! My flesh may surface, but my commitment hold.
