An Open Agenda
Scripture – Luke 10:1-4: 1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
Reflection: Seventy-two people were appointed by Jesus and sent out by Him on a mission. He sent them out “like lambs among wolves.” He sent them out without the kind of support system most of us would want in place before going.
A lot of times He sends me into situations before I have time to prepare. I’ve learned to trust He’ll provide what I need. And He does.
The question for me is how willing am I to be sent? How many limitations do I put on my willingness? It’s a lot easier and safer to tell Jesus how I will serve rather than offer myself as a servant.
I have my agenda planned for the day. Lord, keep me open to yours.
