Shake the dust off your feet...

Father, your creation declares your greatness and lovingkindness, encouraging statements of pure truth in our daily walk... For those who are strong in Christ, there's a tendency to think that all people close to us will naturally follow in our footsteps toward Jesus Christ. But that's often just not the case, in fact, more often than not people just wanna do their own thing. Perhaps Jesus' advice to His disciples along these lines are the words we need to consider the most; Jesus said to His dicipy, "Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. As you enter the house, greet it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town." (Matthew 10:11-14) Lord, through Jesus, we pray for the wisdom to know when to keep trying and when to simply move on to the next opportunity… Thank you, Jesus, for showing us that you are the way, the truth, and the life; THE answer for those committed to seeking the truth in all things!
