Luke 12:1 …Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
God is still working on my heart in the areas of pride and humility. He is daily reminding me that He is in control and that He understands my heart, my deep-seated fears and doubts.
Luke 12:2 “There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
And I am learning that these early verses in Luke 12 are inextricably tied to Luke 12:22 for me: Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life….” God knows what I’m fretting about in the quiet of my heart. He knows my insecurities. He wants me to lay it all at His feet so that instead of being ripped apart by doubts, I can be bathed in the peace that can only come from Him.
Luke 12:3a “What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight….
Precious Savior, Thank You for the words You whisper to my heart, for the reminder that You understand every doubt and fear and that You are the Lord of my life and because of that, I do not need to be afraid of missing out or being passed over or anything else because You see me, You know me, You understand my heart, and I am Your deeply, fiercely loved child. Help me to lay my pride, my fears, and my bitterness at Your feet. Blanket me in Your peace. Amen.
Luke 12:3b “…and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.”
Have a blessed day.
