Which Path Will I Take?

John 16:32
Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone.

The apostles and disciples of Jesus scattered as He began His journey to the Cross.  They returned to their homes and their old jobs.  Their faith was real, but it was not strong enough to stand up to the Cross.

Jesus calls us from different times and places in our lives, just as the apostles were called.  At some point in time, we will all be called to stand up for our faith.  In today’s anti-Christian environment, this challenge is more real than I ever imagined that it could be.  Will we scatter to our old lives when the trials reach us or will we surrender all to Our Savior?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You that we have been called to follow Your Son.  Strengthen us in the face of the darkness that challenges us to stand up for our beliefs.  Complete Your work in us so that we have the courage and the faith to choose Your Kingdom and defend it against the world.

I am forever a student of the Word and a disciple of Jesus Christ, finding life applications in Scripture. I write about Christian themes, including bringing others to Christ, the matchless name of Jesus and various spiritual concepts like a penitent heart and overcoming darkness. I focus on Christian teachings, personal faith and reliance on the Holy Spirit. I invite you to read through my daily writings. Think them out for yourself through your study of God's Holy Word. Pray on the meaning of the message. Then let the message come alive in your life.
