We’re sticking with the LORD. He is our God.
LUKE 5:27-28 (CEB)
Afterward, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at a kiosk for collecting taxes. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
Levi got up, left everything behind, and followed him.
THE ESSENCE
Leave everything behind and stick with Jesus.

I learned an expression from one of my Micronesian students. She was talking about her close friend and said, "We're bubblegum." When I asked what that meant, she said, "We stick together." That's a great picture of our relationship with Jesus. We're stuck to him like bubblegum because he's so very sticky.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, thank you for making yourself so sticky. I want to adhere to you like bubblegum, even though I allow other influencers to try and pull us apart. That's painful, but you hold tight. Today, I'm celebrating your stickiness. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
