The Chore at the Plow. With Jesus.



Holding You Back?



Whatsholdinyaback? A moment now to glorify Jesus...nothing comes to mind, nothing else pleases...

but that Carpenter gracing shores of Galilee...healing, teaching, warning, setting people free...

All proved too much for pushy, priestly folk...they moved to stifle, press beneath a yoke...

but Christ had resilience...Holy Spirit power....Kept Him on track, convicting, blessing...until that Calvary hour...

And then past that hour...the Empty Tomb beholding...praise Him, heed Him, the best of Love unfolding.

Available and caring. Yes even now. Ready to shoulder your task and plow. Job gets done.

Oh yeah.
