Life is always in a state of change or potential growth, especially when we choose to "join in" on the journey of a life following Jesus.
This makes me think of a passage in scripture when Jesus went into the temple and quoted from the scroll of Isaiah. At that moment that Jesus quoted the scroll, the Rabbi’s were not ready for the change He was announcing in their hearing. You see in that moment, Jesus was declaring a new Kingdom and a new Reign, but the scholars of the day were spiritually deaf to the words of their Messiah.
Jesus walks into our lives much like that today. He suddenly speaks many times in the moments that we least expect. Are we listening to Him?
He is calling us into a life of transformation and renewal…away from the distractions and our success driven society and into His arms. He is saying to the weary traveler and to the seasoned traveler, "Come follow Me..." The journey may never be predictable but His goodness is sure and He promises to be with us as we follow Him...into the path of resurrection life :)
