Scripture: Mark 14:12-16 12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him.14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.” 16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
Observation: In verse 16 the disciples found things just as Jesus had told them. The disciples were used to listening, following Jesus direction, and expecting things to be as Jesus directed.
It amazes me over and over when I am prompted by God that something will happen, or to do something that I don’t understand the “why”, yet after I am obedient and do or say what I am prompted to do or say, it all amazingly fits together.
Application: I need to stop questioning and start obeying. I take too long to respond at times. I am unsure, hesitant, and afraid. I need to spend more time responding and less time questioning.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I am sorry for the times that I do not respond or delay my response. Jesus, you are my salvation. I want to respond to you always in love and obedience. Lord, help me to hear your voice, help me to respond in the most appropriate way that you desire. Thank you for all the times that I sense your presence, your voice, your hand on my life. I continue to be amazed. Lord, I want to continue to be amazed by you. Amen.

ReplyDeleteSo as disciples, this is what we are called to do: listen, follow, expect. Great observation for all of us. Thanks.
