Authorized By God
Scripture:
21 They came at last to the village of Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee ; and on the Sabbath Day, Jesus went straight into a synagogue, sat down, and began to teach. 22 The people looked at each other, amazed, because this strange teacher acted as One authorized by God, and what He taught affected them in ways their own scribes’ teachings could not. (Mark 1:21-22 The Voice)
What an amazing time this must have been for those who were privileged to be in the synagogue listening to this teacher, Jesus! The truths He was teaching were touching them in ways not before experienced. The Word of God still has the power to deeply affect us today as we read it or listen to it being taught.
Father, You are so faithful to give us Your truths and ways through Your Word. As I read the Bible and pray for insight and truth, You are faithful. I pray that I will continue to have an open heart to be affected by You and Your ways. Thank You. AMEN
Just as You promise, Lord, You have done many good things for me. I believe You will teach me good judgment and knowledge. Psalm 119
