The Character of Jesus - READY

Read Mark 13:33-37.

"And what I say to you I say to all, 'Be on the alert.'" (v. 37)

Jesus traveled light--He didn't have a place to "lay His head"--so He could be spontaneous. He could obey God's promptings immediately--"Go here!"--"Go there!" He had no ties that slowed Him down.

I need to be available enough to obey God spontaneously. I do have the God-given responsibility of a family, but other than that, I should be "lean and mean"--able to go where He says quickly. Lord, help me to get rid of the extraneous stuff.
