Other Little Ships 2

"When Jesus says, "Let us pass over unto the other side," Jesus knows that your spirit is able to obey and wants to obey, but our flesh - our mind and our emotions are sometimes powered by another force.

Habits have formed themselves into barriers / partitions built up against the call of God. 

There's the pride barrier

There's the undisciplined lifestyle barrier

There's the traditional barrier for some

There's the succumb to temptation barrier

There's the sleep deprivation barrier

There's the weak willed barrier

There's the, “I will get my needs met first barrier”

There's the, “nobody will see me barrier”

And a thousand more.  There are habits & mind sets that keep us from doing great things for God, and there are habits that keep us from doing little things for God, too.

In this story, Jesus didn’t call everyone to pass over to the other side with Him, but if He calls you to go to the other side with Him, will you go?

I know from experience that if you don't make up your mind ahead of time, you will fall short at those crucial moments where the rubber meets the road." 

Note: You know what I am talking about. Don't wait until your back is against the wall to make up your mind about important issues of life. If you make a hasty and unwise decision because you are on the fence, you might be very disappointed later on.
