Prayer
– Lord, have Your instructions changed? You told Your disciples to go to the
mountain. What mountain are You sending me to this year?
Mount St. Helens
Will those who hear about Jesus obey...
or blow up like this mountain?
Trust and obey. Believe in Jesus.
Then
the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had
told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them
doubted! Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given all
authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy
Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.
And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:16-20
Meditate.
What mountain are you facing?
Do you
have any doubts about Jesus?
There were some who doubted Jesus. We
aren’t supposed to doubt—but to trust in the Lord. James gives us good advice
about doubting…or disloyalty.
If you need wisdom, ask our
generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver,
for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is
blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything
from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are
unstable in everything they do. James
1:5-8
If we are
to go to some mountain and tell others about the Lord…about God and His plan
for salvation, then we have to know what know…and trust that it is good
information.
Trust in the LORD with all your
heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take. Don't be impressed with your own
wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil. Proverbs 3:5-7
If you
need wisdom and knowledge, ask God for it. He will give it to you. Know the
Lord. Know Him well enough to go to others and share that knowledge. No
doubting. Go tell it on the mountain.
Verse
of Salvation ~ You will tell his people how to find salvation through
forgiveness of their sins. Because of God's tender mercy, the morning light
from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in
darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace. Luke 1:77-79
