Our hour

 Luke 22:52-53

When it is our hour will we side with the power of good or the power of darkness?  Jesus questioned those arresting Him asking why they didn't arrest Him in the temple; especially since He didn't have a sword.  Then He answered the question "but this is your hour, and the power of darkness"  Jesus, knew He was fighting a battle against satan and He also knew God always wins the war.  The issue is He also knew His disciples and Himself would be put to the greatest test of their lives.  There is a reason He taught us "Father, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil"  Lord Jesus, You are amazing!  Please continue to lead us not into temptation (gluttony, selfishness, pride...) and deliver us from evil (self doubting, God doubting, the battle of our mind...) for Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory.  Amen.

Our neighbour

  Luke 10:29-37 During this year of covid we've been forced to slow down.  I'm wondering if it's helping us to see our neighbours in need.  Lord Jesus, please help us not to be so busy going about Your work we miss seeing our neighbours in need.

Herod

  Luke 23:8-12 This passage says a lot about Herod.  First of all he wanted to see Jesus because he had heard about Him.  Herod was hoping Jesus would perform a miracle for him but Jesus wasn't going to be played.  Jesus didn't answer Herod's questions and His accusers seemed to be heard by Herod so Herod started to mock Jesus but Herod didn't find anything wrong with him.  Herod sent Him back to Pilate,,,and what is interesting is Herod and Pilate became friends that day. Lord Jesus, when satan sends the mockers help us to be wise and know when to speak and when not to speak.  Give us the courage to stand for what is right, in Your time and way. Amen.

Fringe folk

  Luke 9:49-50 Have you ever noticed some non-church goers are amazing people, doing amazing things?  Jesus says, if they're not against us they're for us.  Lord Jesus, help us not to discourage people who are on the fringes of the church.  Help us see how they are helping in Your Kingdom and celebrate their goodness.
