Luke 7:26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Heavenly Father, Be with me as I go through this day. Help me not to weigh You down with my human expectations. Help me to be able to see You as You are, where You are. Help me to choose joy this day, to see all the little blessings and miracles that are everywhere.
Luke 7:27 This is the one about whom it is written: “ ‘I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.’
Dearest Lord, I don’t want to miss Your blessings, Your provision, because I am so distracted with my wants, needs, worries, troubles. Help me to be still in each moment and to know that You are God, You are sovereign, You are with me. Always.
Luke 7:28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
Precious Savior, Help me to be still and know that You are God. Help me to be mindful so that I don’t miss Your presence, which is all around me. Root me in Your peace, love, and mercy each moment so that I can experience this day as You intend–focused solely on Your goodness, shining Your light for others, being Your hands and feet in this weary world. Amen.
Luke 7:29 (All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptized by John.
Have a blessed day.
I am thankful and blessed to read your devotions. I too pray that I can see his hand in the little and the big today. We are so incredibly blessed by our families, our friends, our work, and our play. We know that his hand is in all things, but sometimes life is crazy and busy and we lose sight of the things that are right before our eyes. I pray that he slows us enough and allows us to see work in the world around us. Today my prayer is that you see what he sees in each of your students . I pray that your day is filled with God‘s winks- When he reveals himself and his work.
