Main Scripture: Luke 24:13 -34
Today’s Bible
reading tells us of how Jesus appeared to two believers travelling on the road
after His resurrection. These two men were very sad because Jesus was crucified
and now His body was missing. These men did not remember the prophecies that
were told that Jesus would die and then rise on the third day. They were so
focused on their disappointments that they missed it all together. They were
even walking away from the fellowship of believers in Jerusalem. They were so
distraught that they did not even recognize Jesus.
These men were also
disappointed because they thought Jesus was not the Messiah since He was
crucified. They were too focused on this disappointment to realize that his
death was significant in Him saving us from sin.
Ladies we are just
like these followers of Jesus. Many times we are so focused on our
disappointments and problems, we tend to forget the promises that God made to
us. How many times have we cursed the same spouse that we fell in love with and
thanked God for because it was a match made in Heaven and we know that God
joined us with them for a reason? How many times have we told our children that
we are sorry that they were born despite the fact that we know they are a
blessing given to us by God? How many times do we curse the job that God
provided for us so that we can have food on our tables? As humans, we tend to focus
on our current problems and forget the original plan. This kind of thinking or
action delays the plans of God or results in us missing the blessing that God
has in store for us.
Therefore ladies
before you focus on all the bad that is happening in your life pray and ask God
to roll back the curtains of memories. Ask him to remind you of the original
vision. Ask Him to remind you why He joined you with this man, why were you
placed in this job? Ask Him to remind Him of the plan for your life.
Write down the
vision and keep reminding yourself of it. Keep your eyes on the prize, do not
be distracted by the negative events or the challenges that have come to sway
you and remember that you can do all things through Christ that gives you
strength.
Have A God
Filled Day Ladies
Let’s Pray,
Father God thank you for your loving kindness and grace. Lord
today we pray that you will remind us of your promises for our lives. Help us
not to be ungrateful but to always remember that you love us and that you have
a divine plan for our lives.
In Jesus Name
Amen
