This morning as I was writing and praying, I thought of the
article that I shared back in November of last year. I wrote about not being
discouraged but instead to be asking and seeking and knocking. These very
active tense verbs are a real challenge for me.
As I was thinking about this, I remembered a story that
Jesus told about a man with two sons in Matthew 21:28-31.
But what do you think? A man had two sons; and
he came to the first and said, Son, go work in my vineyard today. He answered
and said, I will not. But afterwards he repented and went. And he came to the
second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir; and did not go. Which
of the two did the will of his father?
It is not the ones who say that they will be asking and
seeking and knocking that are doing the will of the father but those who are
doing it.
For myself, I see that I have been like the second son when
it comes to ‘doing’. I need to be seeking the grace now to not only be saying
that I will obey and do.
For me this involves writing and sharing what I write more
often. My thoughts are most assuredly not always profound and probably not
always correct, but I believe that I should be sharing them here regularly. So,
I ask that you would pray with me that I might find the grace to repent and do.
Thank you
