*"So true. I am working very hard these days but know that this is not what I'm supposed to be doing. All of us go off balance from time to time. It is only for a season, but I must work hard to get back in balance and on track with the Lord."
Thank you to all who respond. I share to confirm we all need the Word & how it works in our lives. Be encouraged!!

Prayer: Dear LORD, keep me from needless questions and worries over the affairs in my life. You lead me and You walk with me; every step of the way. When I am on accord with Your plan, I can face anything. LORD, help me to dismiss personal attacks; for I should only be concern for those struggling around me because they don't know You and/or need guidance in getting to know You better. I trust You, Father. You rescue us. You deliver us, when we delight in You. From our mother's womb- YOU have been our God. Thank You. In Jesus' name, amen. (Proverbs 19/Psalm 22)

DEATH & RESURRECTION OF JESUS, THE KING
Matthew 26
The Lord's Supper * part 2 * v. 20-30
When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, he said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me."
They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, "Surely not I, Lord?"
Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."
Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I Rabbi?"
Jesus answered, "Yes, it is you."
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."
Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until the day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom."
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
First, don't you love how Jesus was just chillin' with the disciples? He wasn't standing before them or sitting at the head of the table. He was reclining with them, because Jesus is a friend. He is definitely a friend of mine. Jesus is comfortable with us like He was with the disciples. He desires to chill with each one of us, in every area of our lives. From waking up in the morning, to sleeping through the night- to every little thing we do in between.
ARE YOU CHILLIN' (comfortably) WITH JESUS?
(v.25) Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I Rabbi?"
Jesus answered, "Yes, it is you."
This makes me laugh because Judas had already set his deceitful plan in motion and attempted to lie to Jesus. And our Savior is so awesome, He calls Judas out. He couldn't fool Jesus and neither can we. We say we have a heart for Jesus, yet we continue to live lives that are so dirty and unpleasing to Him. When we don't do as Jesus has called us to do- then how can we honestly say we love Him. When I sin, it's about me. And my life is suppose to be about Him. I have got to make changes. I'm compelled to make changes.
I believe Jesus called Judas out, and then had communion with him purposely. Jesus knew He was going to be betrayed by this man and called him out to his face; Yet Jesus didn't treat him any differently than the other disciples. Jesus forgave Judas before he had even did anything. Jesus is here for us as well. Loving us, already forgiven us and He desires to commune with us. Let's get it together ladies and gents. Let's make bold decisions to do what He requires of us. LOVE- this good, deserves faithfulness, honor, respect, obedience and our lives completely. Don't get it twisted, you won't miss out on anything, because with Jesus you get a life!
IT IS TIME TO LET GO! AND COMMIT ALL WE DO, ALL WE ARE TO GOD. DON'T COMPROMISE FOR SIN AND TEMPORARY PLEASURES!
