In Plain Sight
SCRIPTURE
Mark 16: 6“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”
OBSERVATION
When things are so incredible that even when you have been told that that is what is going to happen, you have a hard time believing it. This, I believe, was the case for the women who followed Jesus, and then the Apostles themselves.
God’s miracles are inherently to be incredible because it is something that we cannot accomplish on our own. So, the more we are attuned in our hearts and minds to God’s miracles, we are more apt to recognize and receive them for what they are. Jesus told His disciples that the Kingdom of God must be accepted just as a child would – without preconceived notions and prejudices because they will deceive them, even when it’s told plainly.
APPLICATION
Listen for the plain voice of God in my life that tells me to be ready for miracles when I am in obedience of Him.
PRAYER
Father God, thank you for all your miracles, the ones we perceive and the ones we don't. Cleanse my heart so as to be attuned to your voice. Bless and protect Michael as he serves our Country. Sustain Joshua during his senior year. Pour in to Daniel, the joy of knowing and following you, Lord Jesus. Guide and protect Christine as she is teaching today. Keep Grandpa healthy and at peace. I lift up all the prayer requests that NHCC received and may they reach your throne. I love you, Lord Jesus. In your name, I pray. Amen.
