Luke down, Acts up, Ephesians on deck

Yes, cruising through
passages that mostly stood out from Luke to me were
Luke 17
7"Will any one of you who has a servant[c] plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and recline at table'? 8Will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare supper for me, and(N) dress properly,[d] and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink'? 9Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? 10So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are(O) unworthy servants;[e] we have only done what was our duty.'"
The last line really echoed in my head, teaching me servant heartedness.

The passage about ask knock seek; (Luke 11v1-13) primarily
"If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him"
I think too often, the ask seek knock passage has been used and told to people who want something materialistic, but when the whole passage is read, the reader can recognize that it is the Holy Spirit God's wanting to give.

Luke 12v32-34
Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, give to the needy. Provide yourselves with money bags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens, that does not fail,where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Primarily I love the imagery in the the first line, "little flock" makes his corwd sound so eager to follow and yet still in such a fragile state of their spirituality.
And then, it's God's pleasure to give the kingdom? cool.

So this week we are being Acts-ed. It will be a very face paced week, with additional assignments than we have had for other books, which will include a map and timeline of Acts. But then we get to take it a little slower on the weekend, going back to an epistle, Ephesians, which is only 6 chapters but is apparently jammed with tough stuff. Then will come Romans.
I did a very nerdy calculation yesterday, when we finish acts this week, we will have covered 36% of the new testament already.
please pray for endurance.
