I think one of the most troubling suspicious many of us deal with on a day to day basis is the fear that we are on our own. Sometimes life gets so overwhelming that it feels as though we have to sprint just to keep up. Have you ever thrown your hands up because you’re tired and just over it? Do you find yourself wondering if you’re ever going to get a break? One of the hardest things about being in a place like that is the fear that not only is your life overwhelming, but you’re the only one investing in the struggle. It can seem as though you’re the only person who cares - the only one who’s sacrificing and straining to make your life work. The thing is, even when it feels that way, you’re not actually on your own. Jesus is alive and at work right now in your life. He is on a mission to give you a full, abundant life and He isn’t going to rest until you have it. In Luke chapter 9, Jesus told His disciples about the death He would die. Luke says after this He “set His face like a flint” for Jerusalem. That’s a phrase which means He was on a mission and He was serious about it. Later, a man asked if he could follow Jesus and the Lord said, “Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.” In other words, Jesus won’t stop until you have everything He promised you would have.. You’re not on your own. Jesus is at work and He’s focused. No rest, no sleep, no slowing down until you two are home together.
