It's easy to get distracted and make excuses. When Jesus calls us to do something, we need to focus on that and not lose sight of the big picture.Luke 9:57-62
57 As they were walking along the
road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 Jesus
replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of
Man has no place to lay his head.” 59 He said to
another man, “Follow me.”
But he
replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead
bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Still
another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say
goodbye to my family.” 62 Jesus replied, “No one
who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of
God.”
