"Gross is the heart of this people, they will hardly hear with their ears, they have closed their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be converted, and I heal them.'" Matthew 13:15
Are you open to the possibilities of God or are you going to stay where you are at? The people in the time of Jesus ""They did not say, 'Where is the LORD Who brought us up out of the land of Egypt'" Jeremiah 2:6a And yet, He was standing in front of them. In order for us to do the will of God, our hearts have to be open. Being open makes us vulnerable and uncomfortable but this is where God operates, He can't move a closed heart if it doesn't want to. In today's bible verse, Jesus wants to lead and teach His people but first they must be open. Are you open even if it scares you? What change is God trying to bring about but you are holding it back? Are you asking "where is the Lord?" Answer - Right in front of you, ready to pour out His grace, just waiting on a heart to be vulnerable.
Dear Lord God, I pray for open hearts and open ears this morning. May they see the possibilities of You in their own lives given them the grace and ability. You are the Great Healer, we are Your disciples, may we be open to the promptings of Your Holy Spirit and please move mountains. Paint a visual in our thoughts today of a world open to Your grace. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Hope, pray for us.
