Scripture
Matt. 11:12
Observation
Jesus was trying to convey how well John the Baptist (the cousin of Jesus) had followed his calling. Jesus knew John's time was short. It must have been difficult for Him not to come to John's aide. Jesus also knew and followed His calling though. It is not the physical world that we fight against but the spiritual.
Application
As I sit on the balcony of our room looking out over the Sea of Cortez, I see a calm ocean glistening under the sunshine. A slight breeze makes it for a very peaceful setting. At the same time I am able to hear the thunderous roar of the waves crashing on the beach making me realize how powerful that sea is. As a Christian I have the peace of God controling me and the power of God fighting my battles. This is not a passive, meely-mouthed, weak faith that I have but one of power. We must be forceful to attain what He has for us. When you read this zip me an e-mail or touch base on facebook letting me know that someone is recieving these from Mexico.
Prayer
Thank you God for putting leaders in Father's House that allow us to get away and refresh. Bless them as they do your work. Amen
