Prove Yourself
The Pharisees came to Jesus and asked him questions. They
wanted to test Jesus. So they asked Jesus to do a miracle to
show that he was from God.
-- Mark 8:11 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Seeking hearts in Jesus' day could see proof in honest observation.
Some who were not seeking saw Jesus as God's Son as well. However,
those who "came to argue with him" and who were "testing him to see if
he was from God" could not see. One miracle, another sign, and yet
another display of power would not be enough for them to believe. So
much of our faith is tied to our own hearts. Are we seeking for truth?
Are we seeking God? Do we yearn for what is really life? These are the
first crucial questions for us as we seek to not only know, but to
believe, in Jesus.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, I believe, but I want to believe more strongly and more
completely. I don't want my faith to be shallow -- just a mere
emotional cloud that is here today and gone tomorrow. Guide my heart
and my mind as I seek to know truth, your truth, about who you are and
what you want of me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
