Christ’s Word to be Responded
Preaching, healing and disciplining
that summarises the daily activities
of the Son of Man. Luke records
the healings with careful attention.
And those documented miracles
become proof of Jesus’ claim to
a faithless & perverse generation.
As he preaches and heals, Jesus
patiently prepares His disciples
to carry on in His absence. The
cost is steep, but the goal of saving
lives eternally makes it worthwhile.
Lord, we aspire to Be Good Soil:
The seed is the word of God…
The rocky soil represents those
who hear the message with joy.
But their roots Don’t Go Very Deep.
They wilt when testing blow…
But the good soil represents
people who Hear God’s message,
Cling to it and steadily produce
a huge harvest (Luke 8:11-15).
Pay attention to How You Hear.
To those who listen to my teaching,
more will be given. But for those
who are not listening, even what
they think they understand will be
taken away from them (Lk 8:18).
(Jesus) got into the boat with his
disciples and said: Let Us Cross
over to the other side of the lake…
He rebuked the wind and raging
waves. Then he asked them:
Where Is Your Faith? (v22-25).
Lord, I want to Receive Your Word,
apply it to my life & be obedient
to you. If my heart is hard, soften
it with your love. If my roots aren’t
deep, enrich the soil. Deliver me
from being consumed with the
cares and pleasures of this world.
And bring forth by your Spirit,
a great harvest in my life. Amen.
Lord, You know how much I want
more understanding of your will.
If I have neglected Your teaching
in any way, I will turn toward You
and ask You to restore my spirit
to a position of understanding
and growth. Open my heart to
hear and to follow everything
that You say. In Jesus’ name, Amen
Lord, thank You that inherent
in the storms of life is your
promise of peace; not peace
that is the absence of trouble but
peace that eclipse circumstances.
Incline my heart to yours Lord,
that I may experience more of
Your peace in the storm I face.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
