Good morning on the third day of August 2024. The Lord brought to my mind what it was possibly like to see Zacchaeus climb up the sycamore tree. Zacchaeus was a little man, and wanted to see Jesus, so he climbed a sycamore tree. There may have been a small number who noticed Zacchaeus as he started up the tree but I’m sure most did not take much notice because they were looking to see Jesus. My thought here is simple in that no matter what your stature is in life or what life is thrown at you, Jesus knows where you are at. It may have caught Zacchaeus off guard when Jesus looked up at him in that tree and asked him to come down. I’m glad that Zacchaeus hastened to come down to where Jesus was, for that move changed his life forever. Perhaps you are in a position in life where you want to see Jesus, but there are too many things or too many people in the way. I encourage you today to take a moment and look beyond those things that are in the way and look beyond those people that are in the way and climb up your sycamore tree so you can see Jesus. I lived 60 years thinking I was OK with God and on my way to heaven yet not realizing if I were to die it would be eternally without God. I’m glad that God planted a sycamore tree in my life so that I could climb above the things of this world and see Jesus. Many times I look back at my life and wonder how can Jesus love someone like me? But He did!!!
Jesus changed my life. He changed my perspective from what I can do for myself to what He can do through me and He’ll do the same for you. I’m only trying to be an encouragement today in saying that we should call upon the Lord while He may be found. Everything that is going on around us whether it be here in America or around the world has not caught God by surprise. Make sure that you are saved and on your way to Heaven. Today could be the day the Jesus takes the church out, so make sure you know him as Lord of your life. May God bless.
