 | mylordmyfriend Sep 9 | If this is your day for rest like us all y6ou still need encouragement. Be encouraged today by this wonderful verse from Luke 9 Verse 51: Luke 9 Verse 51: "But they didn't welcome Him."
What go around comes around. In these days when our travel is restricted due to a virus. In Jesus'
day Luke Chapter 9: we find Jesus traveling from one region to another with His disciples. The
most direct route would lead them through some hostile country, so Jesus petitioned the people
of the land to allow Him and His disciples free passage through.
The people of the land flatly rejected His request. The detour to this short cut would add days to
the travel. Jesus' followers became angry. The followers were not so concerned about the people
rejecting Jesus' request as they were with the delay this would put in their travel plans.
The inconvenience of the situation, the followers forgot the bigger picture they were in the
presence of Jesus. Jesus did not try to change the people hearts that would not let them through
their lands and He most likely wasn't surprised by His Followers response, they were asking for
punishment to be dished out because of the travel inconvenience.
In the presence of Our Lord, Our Redeemer, and Our Friend, what are we asking for those that
cause us trouble?
Is the correct response, "Bless them Lord and open their eyes so they can see Who you really are
and come to know You like we do as the Christ".
Or is it these people are causing us trouble, "Lord just move them out the way."
Do we turn our inconveniences, into a blessing or trouble?
Or do we answer them as Jesus would "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do".
