I once thought all these things were so very important, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ. Philippians 3:7-8 (NLT)
In the movie "Monsters Inc" Sully finds himself in a tough spot. He and Mike have been banished to theHimalayas . Sully realizes that the only thing that is important is to save Boo. Everything else they have worked for no longer matters. Mike however just wants to go back to his life; he wishes they never met Boo. Sully finds a way down the mountain and Mike tells him he is on his own if he is going that way. Sully makes the hard decision and leaves to save Boo alone.
There will be times in your walk with Christ when the direction God is calling you may seem strange or even foolish to those around you. Do not be surprised when even some of your closest friends can not understand and will turn away when you follow this path. Do not let them deter your focus toward God's plan. Remember, everyone else may abandon you but God will always be with you! I am happy to say that Mike in the movie finally realized Sully was right and got on board. Unfortunately in life this may not always be the case.
Paul came to a revelation much like Sully, that everything that was not beneficial to the cause of Christ was garbage!(Phil. 3:7-8) He decided that he must lay aside every weight and run furiously in the direction of God's will! Several of his closest friends begged him not to go toJerusalem Jerusalem
Is God calling you to something that is not comfortable? Maybe others doubt your sanity or think you are going way overboard. If God is leading you there, you follow! My dad once told me that God would not lead me out on a limb and then cut off that limb from beneath me. Know that God will always lead you down the best path! Fear not!
Pray
Holy Father I know Your way is best. I trust today in Your will and Your direction. Help me not to be discouraged when my friends do not understand the direction You are calling me to. Give me the strength to follow You no matter what! I love You Lord and Your perfect will for my life! In Jesus' Holy Name, Amen!
