I just spent the last fifteen minutes outside with our two dogs as they went about their morning business. Yesterday I took the two of them swimming as part of their conditioning and hunting training. They were pretty tired last night and they aren't too full of mischief this morning either. My cup was filled with Door County Chocolate Cherry Coffee. It is time to write.
1 Samuel 26:23 The Lord rewards every man for his righteous and faithfulness.
Today I want to spend a little time on a subject that pops into my heart now and then. I figure, if I am thinking about this other people must be also. Let's see. Jesus went out and called twelve men to follow Him. Not too much at all is said about what these twelve left behind, So I have often pondered if they challenged their sanity level , leaving the comfort of home, familiar surroundings, and safety to follow Jesus. Jesus made a clear call to them and began the process of changing their souls.
Choosing to be a Godly man or woman in your home, community, or workplace may not reward you with any immediate praise or tangible rewards. You may experience some rejection, alienation, and at time some loneliness because of your decision to follow God. But Jesus made a promise to all of us and is certain to keep it, What we see today here on Earth isn't all there is.
In time because of this calling from our Lord, we will rejoice and leap for joy. Many of those who have gone on before us experienced this same thought of uncertainty, and because now they are with our Heavenly Father today, their satisfaction is complete for eternity.
Sanity check complete? You are on the right path.
