Matthew 12:16
Though we will see in the coming verses the biblical reason for Jesus’ not wanting people to make him known, think of the practical implications. How often is he proclaimed by those who know little of him? Many times we find that people will claim Christ, and yet have much less of an idea of his true nature than we would think. Before speaking about him, we must be sure we know him ourselves.
Bible Reading: Exodus 5:1-7:25
Scripture Memory: 1 John 2:18 “Little children, it is the last time: and ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your blessings. You always know when we need a break. You give us what we need right on time, even though we try to rush things a bit. We get so impatient, and yet we have to have much less patience than You do. May we understand Your patience better. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for a retired local pastor putting together a pastor’s fellowship.
