What a good cause

It is a good cause when we decide to take up our Cross. It is a good cause when we decide to be obedient and to do what we are supposed to do. I am reminded daily that when I choose and am in the WILL of GOD, then what to me is nothing less than a blessing. Sure, my choices are not always plain to see; however, I know that when I take the time, get into the WORD, and listen to what the LORD has to say, then of course, it is a good cause. I should never doubt that dedicating myself to the LORD is not a good cause. It is the best cause that I can ever think of. When Saul, also known as Paul, was converted, he chose to follow JESUS. Ananias was concerned that Saul was going to be a danger to the church; it was the LORD HIMSELF that said that this was a good cause--"he was a chosen vessel" (Acts9:15). It was a good cause to leave behind what he had ever known and to travel the nation to teach, preach, heal and deliver people from their illnesses. Likewise, it is a good cause that I choose to lay some things down and to ask the LORD for help and direction when the days are long and involved. It was not HIS will that I should be lost to what I need to do. It was not and is not HIS will that I should be confused about what to do. What a good cause to ask for HIS help and direction. What a good cause it is to know that I am living a SPIRIT filled life.

Knowing on. Encouraging on!
