Luke 14:18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, `I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it; I pray you, have me excused.'
We all have excuses that we use from time to time when there is something that we would rather do or not do. When Jesus calls us are we willing to put away our personal ambitions or comforts? Are we willing to go to his banquet? You have to wonder what is so great about the lives of these people that they would not accept the invitation of the King. Wouldn’t that be a great party with great food and entertainment? Do we settle for the lowly lives that we lead instead of the life the King calls us to?
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to answer your invitation. Help me to see that life at your banquet is far better than anything that I have.
Amen
