TO THE LORD

Today's reading: Luke 17-18

"One day the apostles said to the Lord, We need more faith; tell us how to get it." Luke 17:5 NLT

Of course they asked Jesus!

I mean, He was their leader...

He was their friend...

He was the Lord...

Why wouldn't they turn to the 'faith source' for any and all questions regarding how to live for God?

Why don't we?

For myself, it's sometimes easier, and a whole lot less convicting, to turn to a Christian self-help book, a sermon-y Instagram reel or crank up the praise music, instead of speaking to the Lord.

Asking Him what I need to do to grow closer to Him.

Seeking out His instruction in regards to improving my relationship with Him.

Being reminded of what it is He has asked me to do again, and again.

He desires that we come to Him for any and all things--but not as a last resort or as a back-plan.

Say 'it' to the Lord--and listen for His response.
