'They Had To Go.'

(This QT tells me that They Had To Go)
PRAY: That we would always be sensitive to the Lord's Leading in our life.

'Do Not Miss Him.'
John 5:39.
a) Acts 17:11. They searched the Scriptures.
b) Because they thought that, by doing so, they would find Eternal Life.
c) But the Scriptures simply testify about Christ.
d) It is in Christ that we have Eternal Life.
(This Second One is a clear warning to all who love the Bible: Do Not Miss Him)
PRAY: That our friends and family members do not 'miss' the Lord because of their simply 'being religious'.

Chris.
We cannot always understand the ways of the Lord, Jacob was led back to his father, Esther was led into the king's presence, and Jesus had to go back to His Father via the Cross after a short time of life on this Earth, He was in His early thirties! I cannot define the workings of the Lord and His Leading in our lives but I can always say that I need to trust Him.
