Luke 9:51 (NIV)
As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
Resolutely — not reluctantly. Not looking for detours or a way out. He didn’t drag His feet, procrastinate or wait for a more convenient time. He knew what was coming, and yet, He got up and got going.
Good morning, Lord. Thank You for resolutely walking the road to Calvary. You know my tendency to procrastinate, to put off things that might be unpleasant. Teach me to walk the path You’ve laid out for me — resolutely, deliberately, without hesitation.
I understand that it won’t be all sunshine and roses. I trust You to walk with me through the storms and thorns, the good and bad, the mountaintops and the valleys. Let’s get going … together.
