Following the Lord and listening to the Lord is I believe by far the hardest thing for any of us to ever do in our lives…because something or someone is always trying to distract us…to get our focus and or attention on something else other then what it’s supposed to be focused on…we have got to keep our priorities straight…if not we will get ourselves doing things that the Lord never intended that we should be doing..we will pick up and begin to carry a lot of extra baggage and a lot of extra weight..if as I said were not careful…we have to be careful not to let feelings or emotions get in the way of following Jesus…and doing what He alone has called for us to be doing…for the Lord says that His yoke is easy and His burdens are light..Matthew 11:30..and that the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord..Psalm 3:23…so keep the things in your life where they need to be…don’t ever start and begin to make excuses as to why or what if you need to do this or that…just do what you know to do…and all else will fall into it’s proper place for you and your life…for we need to be where the Lord has intended for us to be…not where any one else feels that we need to be…not doing what any one else thinks that we should be doing..but listening earnestly to that still small voice of the Lord speaking to you personally..and then following His voice..for the Lord says that His voice we would know but the voice of a stranger we would not follow..John 10:5/John 10:27…for God never leads any of us astray..and the Lord knows whats best for us all…so don’t justify your actions…don’t feel as if you need to explain to anyone what it is that your doing..but just please the Lord in your walk and in the way you are living your life…for it’s all about Jesus guys…not about nothing else other then the Lord..so let us stay focused…and stay on track…and keep moving forward…don’t forget where you were and don’t forget just where the Lord has brought you from to where He has brought you too right now at this very moment in your life…and whatever you do just keep walking…for the Lord says this unto us…”No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God”..Psalm 9:62…so know that there is a work that is needing to be done…and each of us have our places as to where we are needed to be to finish the work and the tasks that Jesus has given to us personally to complete and to finish for Him..so never forget that and never forget that everything that any of us ever do in all of our lives matters, and it matters big time..no matter how big..to know matter how small…if God is in it than it matters…all of it matters…so do your work..and do it well for our Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ…keep on that narrow pathway that is leading us on home…Matthew 7:13-14..and stay always steadfast…unmovable and to always be abounding in the work of the Lord..1 Corinthians 15:58…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
