Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Matthew 11:27: “All things have been delivered to me by my Father, No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.”
The devotion is titled God’s Positioning System: the Divine GPS by Brenda Kis. The author starts off by telling of a teacher,” Mr. G” who was showing a group of students how satellites help people find things. Some did it correctly and others, he had to reteach. Through this introduction, Brenda is reminding us that God has given each of us the coordinates we need to discover Him in the Bible. If we read it carefully and prayerfully, He will make himself known to us. God sent His Son, Jesus, the Teacher, a living example showing us the way and helping us to discover the ultimate prize, that is the compassionate heart of the Father. Our Father is waiting to be discovered.
Reflections, Questions, and Challenges for Us: When you begin your exploration of God, will you get up a half hour earlier so you can give Him first priority or wait until evening so He’s the last thing on your mind before you sleep?
Here is my response, yours may be different: This is a no-brainer. Of course, I give God first priority as soon as I get up.
My Personal Prayer for us: Dear God, we want to know You. Please direct our thoughts as we read Your word every day. Show us who You are as we look at the life of Christ in the Gospels. In Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
