Zacchaeus' Tree

The Zachaeus Principle
Zacchaeus was too short to see Messiah passing by, so he ran ahead and climbed a tree. Messiah commended him by going to his house and blessing it. Zacchaeus didn't let his shortness stop him. He was limited, but he's remembered for not letting his shortcomings keep him from Messiah. He did whatever it took to get close to God. You need to do the same. Don't let anything stop you from drawing near to Him, whatever you have to do. Even if it means planning for the long term, ask yourself, "Will this action get me closer to God or lead me farther away?" Then do whatever you have to do to get closer. You'll be commended by God because it's His will. He wants you to come closer, to overcome that obstacle, hindrance or that sin that separates you; ruling it out and other things in. Closing the door on it and opening a new door to righteousness. Whatever you have to do, make the decision once and for all. God will honor it. Get running and climb that tree, because God is waiting to bless your house.

Today's Mission
Today base all your decisions on whether they will draw you closer to God. If the answer is no, go the other way.

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he’ll do it!

Have a blessed day and week.
May Yeshua Hamashiach bless you,
Love, Lizzy
