2/11 Luke 10:23-24
Then when they were alone, he turned to the disciples and said, “How privileged you are to see what you have seen. 24 I tell you, many prophets and kings have longed to see and hear what you have seen and heard, but they could not.”
HEAR
Are you listening for the Lord? Spend time with Him in the Word. Today ask Him to let you hear Him as you go through your day.
2/10 Luke 10:22
“My Father has given me authority over everything. No one really knows the Son except the Father, and no one really knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
FATHER
We don’t know God unless He chooses to reveal Himself to us. He has sent Jesus to us so that we can know Him and through Him know the Father. Jesus is Lord. Get to know Him.
2/9 Luke 10:21
Then Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and said, “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding the truth from those who think themselves so wise and clever, and for revealing it to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way.”
FATHER
We have a Father in heaven. He knows all about us and all that is going on with us. Jesus is Lord and He keeps us connected with the Father. This day thank the Lord for His concern for your life. Jesus loves you.
2/8 Luke 10:17-20
When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!” 18 “Yes,” he told them, “I saw Satan falling from heaven as a flash of lightning! 19 And I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 20 But don’t rejoice just because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered as citizens of heaven.”
REGISTERED
Is your name registered as a citizen of heaven? Make sure it is. Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sin and that you accept His free gift of Salvation. Praise the Lord for Jesus is Lord.
2/7 Luke 10:16
Then he said to the disciples, “Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God who sent me.”
REJECT
People need to hear the Lord and accept His message: Good News-God in Christ has made a way for us and paid the price for us to come into the Family of God. Our responsibility is to accept Jesus Christ as Lord. When people decline your presentation of the Gospel, they aren’t rejecting you they are rejecting God.
2/6 Luke 10:14-15
Yes, Tyre and Sidon will be better off on the judgment day than you. 15 And you people of Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to the place of the dead.”
JESUS
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. There is no other way to the Father. Do you believe this? This is required to be a part of the Family of God. Jesus is the only way to the Father.
2/5 Luke 10:12-13
The truth is, even wicked Sodom will be better off than such a town on the judgment day.” 13 “What horrors await you, Korazin and Bethsaida! For if the miracles I did in you had been done in wicked Tyre and Sidon, their people would have sat in deep repentance long ago, clothed in sackcloth and throwing ashes on their heads to show their remorse.
JOURNEY
The Christian walk is a journey. Our journey is from where we are to when we will stand face to face with Jesus. What we are doing is important. It always has eternal implications. Serve the Lord with gladness and look forward to seeing Him.
2/4 Luke 10:8-11
“If a town welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you 9 and heal the sick. As you heal them, say, ‘The Kingdom of God is near you now.’ 10 But if a town refuses to welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘We wipe the dust of your town from our feet as a public announcement of your doom. And don’t forget the Kingdom of God is near!’
MOVE
The Lord is calling us to move. We are to be in action. Seeking to share the Good News. But first we must make sure that we have the Good News and that it impacts every area of our life.
2/3 Luke 10:7
When you enter a town, don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide you. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve their pay.”
YOU
You are called of God to care about the people you come into contact with. Jesus loves you and He loves everyone else-HE is Lord and Lord of all. Pray for others. Be a helper. Serve the Lord with gladness by helping everyone with whom you come into contact.
2/2 Luke 10:3-6
Go now, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves. 4 Don’t take along any money, or a traveler’s bag, or even an extra pair of sandals. And don’t stop to greet anyone on the road.” 5 “Whenever you enter a home, give it your blessing. 6 If those who live there are worthy, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you.
GO
As we go in life we are to be about our Lord’s business. I serve the Lord. The Lord takes care of His servant-me. As I go I need to be thinking about those I am making contact with. Everyone needs Jesus.
