DEVOTION ~ CHRIST OUR EXAMPLE

Theme: Christ Our Example 

Text: John 7:1

7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.

Life must be lived wisely and not in arrogance. The Saviour of the world applied wisdom in diverse ways and the text for consideration is an example. Knowing the intent of others towards you should give you direction as to how to walk with them. Jesus knowing what lies in Judea against His life, chose not to expose Himself to His adversaries. He moved to a different territory, that's Galilee. Chose the people you associate with and learn from the Saviour's conduct not to endanger your own life. Do not give room to whatever threatens your life to lay hold of you. If your health will not permit you to eat something, observe not to eat it. If work hazards are affecting you, do think of a better way out; either to suggest remedies or you find a different job. Never create an avenue to suffer what you can prevent from happening.

Prayer: Dear God, grant me the courage to change the things I can change. The serenity to accept those I cannot change. And the wisdom to know the difference. But God, grant me the courage not to give up on what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless in Jesus name have I asked. AMEN!
