Faithful Servant

Ezekiel 1:12 "And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went."

James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."

There is a theme here of not being swayed. Of being steadfast on the prize, keeping our focus on the cross. As the Lord is preparing me, there are so many things coming at me to distract me. Possibilities that are luring at me, needs that are pulling me.

Father, I pray for strength and discernment to keep my focus on Your will and the cross. I need You to guide me and give me discernment when something comes at me that seems good but is not what You have for me. Help me to forsake all for the calling You have given me.
