Mark 9:10
How often do we do the same thing? We wonder about something that the Word of God says, and yet we keep it to ourselves. Rather than asking the Lord to reveal the truth to us, we try to figure it out on our own.
Communication of truth to our hearts is a two way street. We must understand this in order to grow to maturity. God makes his Word available to us, but that is not to say that he does not work in our hearts as we read it. As we learn from his Word, the Holy Spirit works in our hearts to bring truth to us.
Though it is good that the disciples kept the saying in their hearts, and continued to ponder it, they could have asked Christ about it.
Heavenly Father, your Word is a great blessing to us. To have your Holy Spirit work in my heart is so vital to my spiritual life. To know that you are working in me, it is such a wonderful blessing! Your wisdom is, of course, infinite. You have chosen to use us to accomplish the mission of the gospel in this world. Thank you for trusting us with this, and allowing us to be involved in your work in this world. You are worthy of all the praise, for you have given us all that we need for this great task. There is nothing in us equal to it. But you have gifted us for this work. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
