Scripture Verses that caught my attention today: Luke 11:27-28 While he was saying this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”
Observation: Lineage, shared history and even former engagement are not as important as active participation.
Application: Resting on Laurels is not something that is smiled upon in God’s kingdom—at least according to Jesus. Elsewhere he will say that from stones he can raise up children of Abraham. In the passage above it’s clear that even Jesus’ own mother is meant to live in the way of God and not to simply bask in her messiah parenting.
The message is pretty much eternal; today is another day and opportunities for faithful service abound.
In the name of Christ, let’s get on with it.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for ne opportunities every day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
(Readings today included: Zechariah 1-3 and Luke 11)
