If you need help, Let Jesus Lead YOU!

I’ll never forget the time I had the privilege of sitting next to Billy Graham at a dinner. I was honored but also somewhat nervous about what would be appropriate to say. I thought it would be an interesting conversation starter to ask what he loved most about his years of ministry. Then I awkwardly started to suggest possible answers. Was it knowing presidents, kings, and queens? Or preaching the gospel to millions of people around the world?

Before I had finished offering suggestions, Rev. Graham stopped me. Without hesitation he said, “It has been my fellowship with Jesus. To sense His presence, to glean His wisdom, to have Him guide and direct me—that has been my greatest joy.” I was instantly convicted and challenged. Convicted because I’m not sure that his answer would have been my answer, and challenged because I wanted it to be.

That’s what Paul had in mind when he counted his greatest achievements to be of no worth compared to the “surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8). Think of how rich life would be if Jesus and our fellowship with Him was our highest pursuit.

Lord, forgive me for chasing after things that matter far less than my fellowship with You. Thank You that You stand ready to enrich my life with Your presence and power.

To remain faithful where God has placed you, give Christ first place in your heart.

 

INSIGHT FOR YOU!

The apostle Paul’s passion to know Christ and to make Him known to others should guide our lives as well. In Philippians 3:1–14, we see how growing in our knowledge of Christ is mixed with both joy and pain: “I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings” (v. 10). Jesus told us, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). As we grow in our relationship with Christ we can expect both joy and suffering.

Let Christ be your main thing, let Christ rule and reign in your heart and in your circumstances, you’ll find that if you will allow Christ to guide you every day, like He guided Billy Graham, your  life will take on new meaning, you’ll have more peace, you’ll get more done in less time, you’ll get the empowerment that you need to walk in and fulfill God’s plans and purposes for your life!

If you want to get in on that, repeat this short prayer, Dear Jesus, I am a sinner in need of your saving grace, I am a sinner in need of your saving power, I am a sinner in need of your Lordship and your timely guidance, I invite you dear sweet Jesus to come in my life and become my personal Lord and Savior, take control of my life, my circumstances, my hopes, my dreams, my problems, my thoughts, my future and guide me right ways so that I can produce right results and right outcomes, it is in your name, I ask and pray, Amen!
