Zacchaeus Tree

Zacchaeus Tree…

Zacchaeus was too short to see Jesus passing by, so he ran ahead and climbed a tree. Jesus commended him by going to his house and blessing it. Zacchaeus didn’t let his shortness stop him.

He was limited, but he’s remembered for not letting his shortcomings keep him from Jesus. He did whatever it took to get close to God.

You need to do the same. Don’t let anything stop you from drawing near to Him, whatever you have to do. Even if it means planning for the long term, ask yourself, “Will this action get me closer to God or lead me farther away?”

Then do whatever you have to do to get closer. You’ll be commended by God because it’s His will. He wants you to come closer, to overcome that obstacle, hindrance or that sin that separates you; ruling it out and other things in.

Closing the door on it and opening a new door to righteousness. Whatever you have to do, make the decision once and for all. God will honor it. Get running and climb that tree, because God is waiting to bless your house.

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Today, base all your decisions on whether they will draw you closer to God. If the answer is no, go the other way.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
