Luke 5

  • When a true Word is being spoken, it is possible crowds will begin to crave those Words MORE
  • Again, “Don’t be afraid”.
  • After the blessing of fish, Peter, James and John left to follow Jesus
  • Jesus was willing and brought healing to the man with leprosy.
  • Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness to pray (5:16)
  • Jesus came to call those who do not think they are righteous (or proud) but those who know they are sinners and need to repent
  • The fasting, cloth, wine and wineskin verses perplex me
 
♥ Questions to Ask
  • Am I willing to leave all that I know to follow after Jesus, the way Peter, James, John and Matthew did?
  • Do I often make sure to have time alone with God in prayer? Am I seeking Him daily? Do I take a break from the hustle and bustle to ensure I am restored and renewed by being with God?
  • Are there areas in my life where I may think I am righteous and pride is keeping me from seeing I need Jesus to help me with it?

Prayer: Lord, I pray I am always willing and DO follow You wherever You may call me to go. I pray I begin to set aside MORE time to meet with You in prayer, rather than continuously accommodating schedules. I am designed to be driven by Your Spirit and presence in my life, please help me to align all my tasks and appointments with Your perfect will. Lord, help me to see my blind spots (You know I have them!), which may result from pride in my heart. I desire ALL of who I am be given to Your purposes – not just the “easy” places. Finally, help me understand what You are saying about fasting, in relation to the old and new cloth, wine and wine skins. I don’t get it. Thank You and amen!
