Episode 215: Luke 10

Today's meditation is on Luke Chapter 10

Jesus has commissioned me to bring others into the Kingdom. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. So I will do my part and go into the field to harvest. Even though I may be like a lamb among wolves. 

I will speak peace over people wherever I go. If there is someone who promotes peace, my peace will rest on them. If not, it will return to me. I am willing to do the work assigned to me. And I deserve my wages for that work. 

When I am welcomed into someone's home, I will eat the food that is offered to me, for everything created by God is good and nothing is to be rejected. Rather, I will receive it with thanksgiving. I will lay hands on the sick and tell them the Kingdom of God has come near to them. 

If I am not welcomed, I will simply shake it off and move on, like shaking the dust off of my feet. I will not take any resentment with me, or get into strife over it. Perhaps the next laborer will be heard.

Whoever listens to me when I tell them the Good News of the gospel, listens to Christ. Whoever rejects my message, rejects Christ. And whoever rejects Christ rejects the Father. 

Even demons submit to me in the authority of Jesus' name. Satan fell like lightning from heaven. 

Jesus has given me authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm me. But I don't rejoice that the spirits submit to me, but I rejoice that my name is written in heaven.

I praise Father God, Lord of heaven and earth, because he has hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to little children. He was pleased to do this.

All things were committed to Jesus by the Father. And no one knows the Father except for Jesus and those to whom Jesus has revealed him. 

I have been blessed because I have seen the Lord... not with my physical eyes, but with my spiritual eyes. Many prophets and kings wanted to see and experience the Messiah, but did not. They wanted to hear him, but did not. I am blessed beyond measure to be born in this age.

I love the Lord my God with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my strength and with all my mind; and, I love my neighbor as myself. And I experience true life -- the God kind of life. God has shown me great mercy, so I have mercy on others. 

Nothing gives me more pleasure than to sit at the feet of Jesus in worship and to listen to every Word that he has spoken. This world has ample opportunities to be worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed, in fact, only one. I choose that one thing, and it will not be taken away from me.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
