APRIL 14 – LISTEN

04/14 Luke 20:9-16
Now Jesus turned to the people again and told them this story: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it out to tenant farmers, and moved to another country to live for several years. 10 At grape-picking time, he sent one of his servants to collect his share of the crop. But the farmers attacked the servant, beat him up, and sent him back empty-handed. 11 So the owner sent another servant, but the same thing happened; he was beaten up and treated shamefully, and he went away empty-handed. 12 A third man was sent and the same thing happened. He, too, was wounded and chased away. 13 “‘What will I do?’ the owner asked himself. ‘I know! I’ll send my cherished son. Surely they will respect him.’ 14 “But when the farmers saw his son, they said to each other, ‘Here comes the heir to this estate. Let’s kill him and get the estate for ourselves!’ 15 So they dragged him out of the vineyard and murdered him. “What do you suppose the owner of the vineyard will do to those farmers?” Jesus asked. 16 “I’ll tell you — he will come and kill them all and lease the vineyard to others.” “But God forbid that such a thing should ever happen,” his listeners protested.

Listen to the Lord as He speaks to you. Partial obedience is total disobedience. Make sure that what you are doing day by day are the things the Lord has called you to do. When your life is done is too late to fix what you are doing. Today is the time for reconciliation with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
