The Journey of Faith
Exodus 33:12-16; Philippians 3:7-14
The newspaper article told about a patient in the emergency room who'd been injured in the act of burglarizing a private home. Not just injured, more like mangled here and there. His story, as reported by the police, was...
Rummaging through the dark living room, he heard a voice say, "Jesus is watching."
Stunned, he stood stock still. Nothing. So he continued his search for something worth stealing.
Again, "Jesus is watching."
"Who's there?" Nothing.
A third time, "Jesus is watching."
Wheeling around toward the voice, he turned on his flashlight, and there sat a parrot blinking calmly in his direction.
"Was that you?" he asked, not very sensibly. But still. "What's your name?" he demanded.
"John the Baptist," came the answer.
"John the -- What idiot would name a parrot John the Baptist?"
The parrot waited a beat, then said, "The same guy who names his rottweiler Jesus!"
Well, friends, the good news is that the real Jesus is not just watching you wherever you are and whatever you're up to. In fact, Jesus is watching out for you. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, by the Holy Spirit's power he's right there with you.
And for you, with all of his wisdom, power, and kindness ever ready to do exactly what you need -- just when you need it most.
