Be Ready to Help

 "He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd." Mk 3:9

Being ready for whatever comes each day is everyone's goal, but is often difficult to do. When we are busy with a matter that demands our full attention, it can be irritating to be interrupted, especially when we determine that our time is precious.  This is not the way of Jesus!

Today's scripture suggests that the apostles and disciples should expect to be interrupted. More, they should be ready to respond. The call to be servants demands that Jesus' followers think more about the poor and lowly who are looking to Jesus for nourishment than their own needs or plans.

Today, make the way of the Lord less cluttered for others.

Who helped you when you were lost and in need?
