Decided to read some from Luke today.
1:2 - Luke talks about those who handed down the word of God as "servants of the word." What kind of a servant of the Word are you? Seriously. If someone were to come and examine your life would they say you have been a reliable witness to pass on what you know from the Bible or have you taken plays off, kept things to yourself and shown up overweight and out of shape? I have a desire to honor God by always showing up in top shape. I want to make sure to not only share, but share the truth from God in the way He wants it shared. I want my kids to know more about the Bible than the rest of the world. I want them to see it, hear it, understand it and I need to be a reliable part of that.
1:4 - "so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught." God cares about whether you kind of get it or you really KNOW! Luke wrote his Gospel because he wanted to make sure you weren't just hoping, but could know for certain who Jesus is and how much He loves you.
1:10 - The priests that didn't go inside with Zechariah were outside praying and worshipping. What do you do when someone else is worshipping and you are waiting? Do you exhale? Get distracted with other things? Get mad because it isn't your turn? These guys prayed and worshipped while they waited. We recently sang a great song at church called While I'm Waiting that says faithfulness is shown in what you do while you wait and not just when you are moving. I met our faith would move us and others more if we were more faithful in our waiting.
1:37 - "For no word from God will ever fail."******* WOW! What a great reminder. Everything God has ever spoken will come about in it's proper time. There is nothing beyond God in your life.
Love, Michael

I feel so "out of shape." I read a verse the other day talking about taking advantage of every opportunity. I want to, but sometimes the words just get stuck! I hate that. The spirit is willing but the body is weak.
