(Theta) Useful (1 Samuel 12:20 21 & Ephesians 5:17)

“PILGRIM’S PROGRESS” is the book written by John Bunyan about a man named Christian who is suffering from spiritual anguish. The story progresses with different guides whose purpose it is to lead Christian to the Celestial City. Along the way there are many distractions (four of these pictured above) which are useless to his goal but can appear as useful if the goal of the Celestial City is not worth pursuing. For all of us who trust the “Daily Texts” to be our spiritual guide in our pilgrim journey, we also do not need or want useless things to distract us. It is our prayer that as we read and pray through the daily words we hear from our Lord in these texts, that we may live out and fulfill those things that our Lord knows are useful for us. Keep praying through these texts. Our Lord will lead us to those useful things that make “thy Kingdom come” and “thy will be done.”

Thank you, Lord, for using the useless. Forgive my foolish ways. Remove my search for fulfillment in an overflowing schedule. May I seek service that is heart-felt rather than ego-fed. Bless me that I may be a blessing in Jesus' name. Amen.
