Trust in God's Word

9-25-22

Today's devotion is based on Luke 16:31, “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead’”

As if we don’t need any more reminders – we do know, of course, that there were people who saw a man rise from the dead (Jesus) and did not believe. Even some of Jesus’ close followers needed a nudge or to touch his hands and side.

Some couldn’t see any miracle at all. Even when a man was raised from the dead, they would not believe. We do not have a God who only acts by ‘our works’. We have a God of miracles; they are his. We remain faithful in prayer.
Please pray with me, Lord, open our eyes and ears to see and hear your truth. Give me patience when I cannot persuade with testimony and truth known to you and others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
