GOD is spot on. I'm the one who blew off his instructions so that I could do my own thing.
MATTHEW 21:28-29 (CEB)
Jesus told this story, What do you think? A man had two sons. Now he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’
"‘No, I don’t want to,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went."
SUMMARY SENTENCE
If you've been blowing off God, the best thing to do is change your mind and follow his instructions.
DAILY FODDER
Why is it so hard to change your mind once a pattern has become entrenched in your life? How does God help us make necessary life-giving changes?
PRAYER
Jesus, thank you for letting me change my mind. You know my first thoughts are always to put myself as boss and you on my payroll. But your Holy Spirit reminds me of the joy of your employment. I get to be part of your blessing business. Your return on investment is eternal and unending. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
