John 4: 43 After the two days he
left for Galilee. 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that
a prophet has no honor in his own country.) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the
Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the
Passover Festival, for they also had been there.
============
“I have been
watching you to see if you are sincere” someone said to me. I had no idea this
person was looking at my actions until they approached me. I was flattered but
then I was filled with fear. I wonder how many people were watching me mess up time
and time again and didn’t tell me.
- Many times I have not been proud of what I have done.
- Many times I have not been excited about the way I messed up.
- Many times I have felt ashamed of what I have done, so I hid.
JESUS went to
Galilee and was welcomed. In Jerusalem the church leaders rejected HIM, but the
Galileans watched JESUS and were excited. They saw HIM serve HIS people in
miraculous ways and believed in HIM more and more.
- GOD wants me to see HIS work every day.
- GOD wants me to acknowledge HIS presence every day.
- GOD wants me to praise HIM for the things HE is doing, not just for what HE has done.
Watching GOD work
brings praise to my lips. HE gives me a front row seat to the best performance
I could ever imagine. HE places so many people in my life and sustains them,
protects them and heals them, right in front of me. HE places praise on my lips
and makes me recognize HIM. I am grateful for HIS great power!
- What will people say about you?
- Do people recognize GOD in you?
- Do you see GOD in spite of your circumstances?
