Days 285, 286, 287 - Catching up with Jesus

Today is one of those days, a day to catch up with what I missed.
My internet was off all these days, so I am behind on this blog, and now it's time to catch up.

However, the reason that this post's title is catching up doesn't have to do with that.
On Sunday I listened to a preacher talking about Peter, at the moment when Jesus is taken to the cross, he followed Jesus, but, by distance.

That's so easy to happen, we focus on ourselves, lose track of Jesus and find ourselves way behind where we are supposed to be.
The problem is, Jesus won't slow down for us, He is not going to stop His kingdom's work so that we can catch up with Him, it should be the other way. Us running faster than we were before to eventually catch up with the work Jesus is doing.

I don't want to be slower than the speed Jesus asigned to me, I don't want to be behind the position I am supposed to be. That's crazy, that's almost giving up and the step after that is forgeting about Jesus completely, and denying Him, just like Peter did.

We will all have our moments in life, those moments when you doubt things, or you get confused, we are humans, we are subject to falling behind. But we need to catch up, we need to pay attention and measure ourselves, not with our own rulers, but with God's measures, having the Bible as reference at all times.
