Luke 9:10-17.....The Crowd followed Jesus and was 'satisfied' - how did they do it? - three lessons with three blessings:

#3 - Let Jesus work - God has the situation - take the time given us to breath and reconnect with Jesus.  He can bring us a peace like no other - BLESSING: Rest

#2 - Give whatever we have to Jesus - no matter what we're holding on to, Jesus can use it.  When we give Jesus our skills & abilities, our possessions and more, Jesus can multiply it for God's glory! - BLESSING: Abundance

#1 - Stay close to Jesus - this is a time (it's ALWAYS the time) to get close to Jesus and be aware of all of the ways Jesus is working in our life.  Share the good things God is doing and give God the praise!  BLESSING: Healing

During this uncertain time, we can be blessed when we place our hope and confidence in the Lord - let our roots go deep and our faith rise!

Jeremiah 17: 7-8 TLB

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence. 

He is like a tree planted along a riverbank, with its roots reaching deep into the water—
a tree not bothered by the heat nor worried by long months of drought. 

Its leaves stay green, and it goes right on producing all its luscious fruit.

Life isn’t always tied up with pretty paper and bows….sometimes it’s more like a mine field of stress, anxiety, busyness and more.  How can I get all this done?  Will I have enough money?  Why I am out here fighting the traffic and why do I feel this way?  Have you ever asked any of those questions?  Jesus came into a messy world to heal the broken.  He came to bring light to the darkness.  This Advent season we look for the Light in the MESSage.

 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”  John 8:12

Philippians 2:1-4 - If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.

Psalm 16:11 - You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence….Blessing comes when we
“Take off our shoes” with God.

Open scripture – the Word is alive
Open eyes – a desire to share
Open minds – deeper relationship

Find Jesus….take your shoes off...Stay awhile…..

Psalm 16:11 - You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence….What does it mean to be “In God’s Presence”?  What can we do to be more aware of God’s presence?  We journey the Road to Emmaus to learn how to be more aware of Christ in our lives.
