You'll See It Clearly One Day!
Then Jesus said to them, "Do you take a lamp and hide it
under a bowl or under a bed? No! You put the lamp on a lamp
table. Everything that is hidden will be made clear. Every
secret thing will be made known."
-- Mark 4:21-22 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Confusion is one of the more frustrating states of mind. Not seeing
clearly, not being able to perceive fully, and not being able to
understand leave us feeling silly or stupid. Jesus didn't want his
followers to feel any of these. He wanted them to know that all will be
revealed about the Kingdom at the proper time. It will be brought to
light. He didn't come to hide his message in a darkened room. So our
job is to listen and wait, always obeying what we understand and
trusting that the confusing matters will be brought to light. Our trust
is in Jesus and his promises to reveal. We mustn't let our frustrations
with what is concealed steal from us the things that we know today and
the blazing light of truth that awaits us in the future.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Father, I need patience. I am not good at waiting. I want all the
answers right now. However, dear Father, I know that you have revealed
what I need to know right now. Lead me to know your will and your truth
more fully even as I am fully known by you. I cling to Jesus' promise,
trusting that all will be made known. In his name I pray. Amen.
