Matthew 13:11
It has been difficult for us to accept, but the truth is that most people will not believe Christ. Though Almighty God wants people to believe, and the saints pray for people to believe, many people will not believe. This is what Jesus was explaining to the disciples. They accepted Christ, as did others from the multitudes. But, many of the people would hear, not understand, and move on to something else. Many would not believe, many would not try to understand, and some were not really even listening.
Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 18:1-21:23
Scripture Memory: 1 John 2:28 “And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are so wise and understanding. We often wonder why You allow people to not believe Your Truth, and yet we want to make our own choices too. We think You should make everybody saved, and yet we still disobey You sometimes. Oh Father, You understand us humans very well! Thank You for allowing us to have a choice, and knowing who belongs to You. We are so dependent upon You, and yet You give us so much freedom. When I submit myself to Your will, I feel so free and peaceful, and joyful. When I don’t I feel grumpy and afraid, and bothered by everything. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
