Hang on It

Reading:  Job 29, Psalm 121, and Luke 19

Scripture: Luke 19:47-48, And He was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy Him, but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.

Thoughts: Because the crowds of people were hanging on every word and seeking what Jesus had, those in charge had no way to get to Jesus. Today so many people get their Sunday morning fix and then they are good for the week. That is if they have any connection to a local church or even God. There are so many distracting voices in the world today that it is easy to set God aside for some entertainment. When we hand on His every word it does not matter what they do to us there is no way for them to take Him from us.

Prayer: Father God, I thank you for sending your Son, that we may have a way back to you. I thank you that no one can blot out our name from the book of life. I thank you that He is the way the truth and the life, that he opens the way to you. I ask that you help me to seek you first and to hang on your every word that I may know you more. Lead me and guide me in your ways.
