On The Road Again, But Always At Home

Often when I'm on the bike, or cycling, I have the time to capture my thoughts and reflect on who I am, or better, Who's I am. Even though I may be hundreds or even thousands of miles away, I know I am at home in God's hands. So, why do I fight so hard to live my life as though I can only rely on my own strength. Is it pride, selfishness, guilt? Most times all of the above. In the book of John 6:60-68, Jesus is talking with the disciples about their grumbling with His teaching that He is the Bread of Life, to which some believed to be a hard teaching. Jesus said that The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are life, yet some of you don't believe. He goes on to say that no one can come to Him unless The Father enabled him. After hearing this, many disciples turned back and no longer followed Him. My favorite is when Jesus asked the twelve disciples if they also will leave Him and Peter responds by saying Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God. Sweet!

God’s word is alive and well and coupled with the Holy Spirit, prayer and continually walking it out with Jesus in an intimate relationship, I, (we) can build the faith, or allow God to fulfill His promise to give us faith that He will take care of us that have called Him our Savior.
