REFLECT FAVORABLY ON GOD
After ministry guidance on how to select the home to stay in, Jesus
states “STAY WITH THE SAME FAMILY, EATING AND
DRINKING WHATEVER THEY GIVE YOU, BECAUSE
WORKERS ARE WORTH WHAT THEY EARN. DON’T
MOVE AROUND FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE” [Lk 10:7
CE]{Mt 10:10}. Note: sometimes people use this scripture about
what workers deserve or are worth, to justify receiving a lot of
money but the context is earning basic provisions, such as food and
drink. As a ministry guest in a home, it is natural that initially a
family may provide their best food although after a while they
would probably only provide the normal provisions consumed in
the home and it may be tempting to move to another house. We
need to stay there, “EATING AND DRINKING WHATEVER
THEY GIVE YOU”. Jesus encourages being stable and focusing
on ministry, when He says, “DON’T MOVE AROUND FROM
HOUSE TO HOUSE”. As we follow Jesus and “DENY” [Lk
9:23] ourselves by not doing what we may prefer, our lives reflect
favorably on God. Do you reflect favorably on God?
