HAVE YOU DECIDED

“And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.”

Matthew 8:19

King James Version

Sundar Singh wrote one of my favorite hymns “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus”.  We sing this hymn but do we really mean what we sing?  “I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, No turning back, no turning back.”  When satan attacks us with lies and discouragement and tells us Jesus doesn’t love us, there are times we feel all alone and we are tempted to go to bed and stay there and to stop serving Jesus.  However, we must keep following Jesus and stay on the battlefield for Him just as He stayed on the cross for us.

What about you?  Have you decided to serve Jesus and keep serving Him no matter how many lies satan tells you and how many dark valleys you go through?  I am so thankful that Jesus stayed on the cross and died for my sins when He could have come down.  May God help us to stay on the battlefield for Jesus.  If you haven’t decided to follow Jesus, I pray that you will make that decision today.  There are many people who are hurting and need to know Jesus love them.
