Then,
Jesus said privately to his followers, “You are so blessed to be able to see
all of this! I want you to realize that the prophets and kings would have loved
to see and hear and experience the life you are being given” (Luke 10:23-24)
How often do you complain? Do you get up
some mornings thinking of the challenges of the day with anxiety or even dread?
Or, do you understand that every moment of your life is an opportunity to watch
and participate in the great work that God is doing in His world and His
people? Are you living the dream or the drudgery?
Jesus has just celebrated the return of the
seventy-two people He commissioned to go ahead of Him. He had challenged them,
sent them, heard the stories of God’s work through their lives. Then, He thank
God “full of joy through the Holy Spirit (verse 21).” This was a big deal for
Jesus! He was excited. So, He made the effort to get his people to stop and
take note; to celebrate their great fortune. They had been chosen by God to be
part of His work to change lives. You have been chosen too! Celebrate that
great opportunity every day.
See your great fortune through Jesus’ eyes.
Relish the opportunity you have been given to live God’s dream life for you.
