“Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, ‘But Lord, what about this man?’ Jesus said to him, ‘If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.’” John 21:21-22, NKJV.
Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he gave Peter and John two different instructions on what their assignments were when he is gone. As Peter asked Jesus about John’s assignment, Jesus’ response was essentially what I tell John to do doesn’t concern you. Let your focus be on what I’ve told you to do.
You may see another believer doing things that are different right now from what you’re being led to do. That’s okay. Their assignment may be different from yours. Let your focus be on what has Jesus told you to do during these pivotal moments we are living in. What is He telling you to do regarding your call? What is He telling you to do regarding leading your children? What is He telling you in the midst of a pandemic? How is God telling you to respond to injustice, protesting, and all of the unrest? Whatever it is, do it for God. Don’t do something for man, but because the Lord told you to.
Prayer: Father, I glorify you and praise you for all you’ve done for me. Thank you for speaking to me to keep my focus on what you want me to do and how to respond to what’s happening around me. Help me not to be moved by people, but only move by your Spirit directing me. The best place for me is always in faith and in your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
(Read John 21:15-23, Romans 1:16-17 & 8:14)
In Jesus name, Amen 💙
I agree. If everyone stories is different why would everyone be doing the same thing.
I been praying God gives me instructions concerning this school year for my children, to homeschool or in person learning. I’m actually a school teacher but I resigned in February due to health problems. (Please pray for me) My children has never been homeschool prior to the pandemic. I personally don’t think it’s safe for a lot of reasons I won’t state, so I’m considering homeschooling this school year. However, my children is starting to have a interest in going back to school. I believe it’s only for the social aspect. My family is against me homeschooling but they are also against everything I do. 😂 I have always been the person to do what I feel Gods is leading me to do and it’s usually the opposite of what everyone else is doing which makes things so hard. I’m still praying to home school or in person learning but I think for now homeschooling is best even if my children are showing interest in going back to school. Sometimes what we what is not what God wants. It don’t have to be a complete no but a not yet!
Thanku I need this everyday I need to hear the word of And Please send a special prayer for my family the Young family we praying for good news today for our home in Jesus Name Amen
Dear Sister Kesha, I agree with you whole heartily. If we just keep our eyes on God, and focus on the work He have given us as individuals we will stay in our own lanes and not compare ourselves to others. To see what that person is doing. Not knowing what God have told them to do. That’s why it is so hard in some churches because I don’t believe they actually believe the Word. We all have been given gifts and some are the same, but not all have the same office. We can have the same gift, but it be used different because as individuals, we’re different because that is how we were created with what we are called to do is different with the same goal do The Great Commission. Then, with the same expected end as we be hearers and doers of His Word. This is right on time.
God bless 🤗💕

I HEAR YOU CLEARLY THANK YOU
All glory to God
This word is important, essential even. He had to tell Peter to mind his own business and not be nosey lol. Bible is awesome cuz the people’s in it are just like us now, flawed and human. Which is one argument that it’s true – if writers made it up they would flatter themselves more than the embarrassing reality of the stories how it went down.
Anyways thank you for this. Different groups of ppl have diff needs and blah, so yh we must try focus on each our own calling and not want different jobs or think others are immortal. Jesus’ most loyal followers were often women they were there at the cross and the tomb. And prostitutes were some of His followers. But I’m rambling. Thank you for posts as always <3 have a great week
That reminds me of was it Martha and Mary. One decided to go crazy serving drinks and snacks while the other sat and listened to Jesus. One got mad and asked Jesus to tell the other to help her out. Jesus said nah u chose to run around after everyone but she’s chosen to do what’s more important.
So I guess we need to choose wisely. We can run around thinking we helping and just get tired n upset n resentful n ain’t even helping much anyways. People pleasing etc
THANK YOU LORD, Please help for me to see what it is that You’ve told me to do. I wouldn’t want to be Lead and Guided by none other than You❣️
