"I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace."
ACTS 20:24
Since the truth is written and manifested in Jesus - we can say with clarity everything is fading away and only Jesus is truth - Jesus is the only way. The call is to "feed my sheep." There is but one choice - Christ Jesus - his will - his love and his word must be revealed - given.
Eternity has no time - neither does the Lord. We are given time as flesh in a decaying world. The time is over - the time has come for the harvest. The Lord's will be done - his kingdom come - the path is Jesus - the way is to follow him and obey him.
The Lords call is for us to be loyal to him - faithful to him - and obedient to him. In a world full of distractions and confusion it is easy to be tricked into following other avenues in pursuit of life. It is easy to take advice from a family member or friend. It is easy to be busy and occupied working to build a fading and failing world. In a world that does not know Jesus as Lord of Lords it is easy to be distracted from following him.
It is not the Lord that prevents people from doing his will with the full power of God in heaven - it is simply a lack of faith. People put their faith in things seen - things they can touch - rather than the unseen. This is a lack of faith - Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. - Hebrews 11:1
There is no storm to great for the Lord to calm and tame. There is no situation in which he will not guide you through. There is no thing he cannot do. It is you that must choose to have faith in him so he can show you the way.
