Today : Amazed
TODAY’S VERSE
“All the people were amazed and said to each other, ‘What is this teaching? With authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits and they come out!”’ Luke 4:36 (NIV)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Are you amazed yet? Not everyone was. In today’s passage when people heard Jesus’ teaching, witnessed His miracles, sensed His immense love, they ended up saying, “What authority and power!” And before Jesus left the earth and said “All authority was given to me,” it says that some people worshipped. But it also states that some doubted. Isn’t that just like us? We worship and we doubt. We trust and we fear. We have hope and we despair. What can make the difference? What can take us from doubt to worship? Spending time with Him. It was those that were with Him, watching and listening, that experienced His power and His authority. Those that “heard” Jesus say that all authority was His, well, they just heard it. Today, let yourself be amazed; spend time with Him.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Jesus, I come today to be amazed. I want to know You, know Your love, know Your power. Open my eyes, open my heart to all that You are. I come and worship You.
AMEN
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
I am amazed at God’s love for me
Today come and quiet yourself before God. In quietness picture Christ dying on the cross for you. See Him gaze at you from the cross, happy to be your Savior. See Him rising from the tomb, looking for you. Find yourself walking alone and He comes running up to greet you and tell you, “I love you, I am going to Heaven, but I will be with you always.” Feel yourself fully amazed at His love for you!
