‘No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.’ (Luke 9:62) Many people who are willing to follow Jesus nonetheless worry about future uncertainties, hence their faltering footsteps and mindless fellowship. Jesus does not change His tone in spite of their lack of security; in contrast, He emphasizes that He is not one who is too concerned with personal security. He says, ‘Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.’ Jesus wants us to understand that to be overly worried about everything is not beneficial to anyone at all, since this readily weakens the fervour of devotion to life. That is why He says, ‘No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.’ Jesus also says, ‘Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’ Following the Lord requires courage, perseverance and trust in Him. When you are certain about the will of God, be not afraid; rather, just follow Him a step at a time, work hard to go forward, and success shall never elude you.
