One Simple Truth
Forsake fruitless pursuits.
Scripture
Mark 14:1 ESV (Read the Full Chapter Here)
It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth and kill him,
The Passover was the celebration of God’s miraculous deliverance of the people from slavery in Egypt. This was a time for reflection, thanksgiving, and preparation yet the chief priests were caught up in a sinful scheme to arrest and kill Jesus. Talk about being blind! Sometimes we have plans stirring within us, albeit, hopefully not murderous plans, but maybe plans that do not honor the Lord. Forsake fruitless pursuits. May your time, energy, and focus be spent on living a life and carrying out plans that please the Lord.
Prayer
Lord, open my eyes to fruitless and sinful pursuits. Refocus my energy and attention for Your glory. In Jesus name, amen.
