Lazy?
We all have been here before. Maybe some of us are still here. We just don't feel like doing anything. Some days like that are fine, but it is when it becomes a habit that it is bad.This can carry into our christian walk.If Jesus walked into your bedroom in the flesh today and said "Lets go do this"...would we jump up and go, or would we settle into our "lazy" chair and pass on the opportunity.
Luke 9:1-9 tells the story of Jesus calling his dsciples to his side and telling them to go out with his authority and power. Jesus tells them that they will preach the good news of heaven and heal the sick. That is a great offer to move them. None of this can happen if the disciples decide to just hang around and relax in their chairs.The scripture goes on to say that they preached and healed people everywhere they went.Do you realize that this applies to every christian today. Jesus has given us his power and authority to battle against satan and his work. When you pray and speak of the works of Jesus Christ , a power is present in that situation. Satan has no power over you , Jesus has given you power over him. What a great gift!Are you interested in making a "huge" difference for Jesus Christ.He wants you to get up and go and experience great things in life. Take that power and authority to your school today.Sometimes we need those days in our lives where we can "just be lazy " but we are told to take Gods word out,and that would mean leaving our comfort area. The disciples were sent out by Jesus. They just had to decide to go when he called them.What are you doing for God today? Don't be a lazy christian. Laziness takes you nowhere in life except backwards.
