Daily Word: Have you fallen to temptation lately...me too!

Those who know have heard say it before, "God's always talking, but we're not always listening." Sometimes we can hear God clearly and we still don't get it right. The moment we understand what God wants us to do, suddenly everyone and everything around us requires our time and attention. We become distracted and lose sight of the big picture; doing what "we" want to do instead of what "He" told us to do. If we know what God wants us to do, we are to set our sights resolutely toward that goal "with full determination" in order to accomplish it. Our resolve to go where God is leading us ought to be evident to those around us. And we should beware of becoming so sidetracked by the opportunities around us that we lose sight of His ultimate goal for us. We cannot succumb to the temptation to delay our obedience or discard it altogether. Once we have received a clear assignment from God, our response should be unwavering obedience! We may fall short...but we have to try.

Luke 9:51
Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem.
