Brothers and Sisters 😊
📖 In Matthew chapter 12 today we see Jesus miraculously and compassionately…
“Healing a man’s withered hand on the Sabbath day” (vs 13),
and the foolish Pharisees…
“Conspiring together against Jesus as to how they could kill Him” (vs 14).
Q. Have you ever read this section of Scripture and wondered about the Pharisees mental stability – if Jesus had the supernatural power to heal a man’s withered hand, wouldn’t He also have the same power to wither a healed hand?!#WhatWereTheyThinkin?
🙏 Heavenly Father please forgive the many times of disobedience toward you when I was blinded by pride and holier-than-thou self-glory like the Pharisees. Thank you so much for opening our eyes to your grace and power, and making us your own – we have no good apart from you.
🙏 Lord Jesus we praise you today for being the perfect model of loyalty to the Father, that we may understand reverence and the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom – Please grant us humility to stop fighting against you, but instead give us consistent gratitude for your grace, and enduring allegiance toward you and the Father…
✝️ “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters…And Jesus, stretching out His hand toward His disciples said, ‘Here is my true family, for whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Matthew 12:30,49-50
Grace and Gratitude
