Jesus challenged our priorities and devotion in Luke 14. In fact, He challenged our faith with the word "COMPEL."
To be compelled means to be moved by force of inner compulsion, to put constraint upon, to be persuaded or strongly urged. To be compelled means to understand the value of something, to comprehend the urgency of the moment.
The truth is, we are always COMPELLED by something and someone. What and who compels us makes the difference between a faith that leaves us disappointed and self-consumed and one that leaves us satisfied and fulfilled in life.
