Matthew 22:46
It is remarkable that even though this rest from questioning closely preceded the suffering of Christ there was actually a period during which no one dared to ask Christ any questions. It seems that, just as many orthodox Jews today, they felt that too much discussion of the things having to do with the person of the Messiah as they related to Jesus could possibly cause many Jews to turn to him as the Messiah. Imagine that!
Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 2:1-4:22
Scripture Memory: James 2:8 “If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, so many of us go through life without truly making contact with You. We fail to reach out beyond out own petty lives to the Eternal One. We stay within our own little perception of the world and refuse to consider Your infinitude. Many think that You do not exist simply because they cannot put You in a box and study You. Others fail to care. They go through life with no concept of the important things because they are focused upon the pleasures of this life. May we not miss the grandeur of Almighty God for the garbage of a worldly life. Not only do we miss the forest, but we fail to see the trees. We keep our eyes closed and then ask why it is so dark. Oh Father, may we always have a vision of You! You are worth every moment of our day, and every thought of our mind. All praise be to You! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
