TODAY’S VERSE
“For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes—so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.”
Matthew 13:15 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
God wants His word to penetrate our very being. We are “fearfully and wonderfully made” and this includes the way we comprehend truth. Jesus took the writing of Isaiah and applied it to the people of His day. He warned them that their “eyes” were not seeing the truth, their “ears” were not comprehending the truth and their “hearts” were not sensing the implications of the truth. It was a result of hardening themselves toward God. Turning away from Him they ended up ignoring God’s truth. How often have we done the same thing? But it is not too late. It is through self-reflection, repentance and being purposeful in really believing in God’s word that we can turn this around. Today, might God help you and I read the word, hear the word and most of all, believe the word with our whole heart.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, forgive me for the times I have hardened my heart toward You. Help me today to see Your word, hear Your word and most of all apply Your word to my life. In Jesus’ name I pray.
AMEN
