What type of road are you on?

Today's focus in the 365 day reading dealt with The disciples being told to go out and speak of the Kingdom of Heaven. They are told "do not go to the Gentiles or Samaritans, but only to the People of Israel" , to the lost sheep.

It is in the book of Acts that we hear of our evangelist as Gentiles in Saul soon to become Saul who  was "called" to Arabia by himself. It was here that he was fashioned and molded with the fellowship of suffering to as Oswald Chambers said in his 14th day writing today 'Pay the price of our dreams".. Paul was given his dream by Jesus himself to undergo suffering in order to bring the Good News to we as Gentiles. Even though Jesus could have picked another way he converted Saul to Paul on the Damascus road.

In these last days are you paying today with the follow up on your  declaration as opposed to resolutions? If not, check yourself. You could be drifting away by yourself away from church and Jesus' fellowship of suffering and be on that wide road to destruction. There could be someone or something that you are cathexing instead of the Lord who we must first seek. It is not that we need to work for our salvation but their is work necessary within our salvation. Paul talks about working out our salvation.

Let us pray for the strength to maintain our steadfastness in "followship" as well as fellowship into this year and continue on the Road Less Traveled, that narrow one with few people.
