*A WORD FOR TODAY*

*SAY YES TO GOD, DON'T KEEP HIM WAITING*

_"And as he passed on, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, Follow me.” And he rose and followed him."(Mark 2:14)_

_*If there is anyone in this life who knows our beginning and end, it is God. We will be making the greatest mistake in life if we remove Him in our lives and choose to go solo and walk alone.*_

_God is constantly choosing men and women who represent Him in this life and He has different mission for us. He calls us as He called Levi in the gospel reading of today. Our response will determine whether we will be given the task or not._

_*When Levi was called, he was at the tax office, but he immediately left everything and followed Jesus once he heard his voice. He was given a new opportunity by Jesus to become a better person and a soul winner.*_

_Tax collectors at that time were seen as as sinners, but Jesus actually came for sinners to find salvation. This is why he called Levi to give him another opportunity to do something meaningful with his life. As soon as he heard Jesus' invitation, he rose up from where he was sitting and followed Him._

_*God is calling us everyday to follow Him and we should learn something from Levi not to keep Him waiting. You may not be as good as you ought to be, but God will make use of you, simply say yes to Him, rise and follow Him and you will become a wonderful disciple.*_

_Do not allow the things you see to stop you from following Jesus who knows what is best for you. Come to Him today, He will cleanse you and make you a noble vessel for the task He has for you in His vineyard._

_*Good morning dearest one. Smile😊as you begin your day and do have a wonderful day. May Jesus give you the grace to say yes to Him as you hear His voice. Amen. And may the Almighty God bless you: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.*_

*Meditation:* 1 Samuel 9:1-4,17-19;10:1/Psalm 21:2-7/Mark 2:13-17

*Watch-Word:* The Lord has sent me to preach the good news to the poor.

_*Use every opportunity you get to draw souls closer to Jesus and do not refuse to say yes to Him.*_
