Be Stretched

But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Turn off the noise of your day. Come and sit with me. Take the time to honestly express yourself to me. Allow healing to flow. I am not impatient, nor will I lash out in anger at you. You are my creation. I am your father. I will show you the way.

Lord of the Sabbath

One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels. Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(NIV)

Grow Closer

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Carefully read your mail. Open up and allow the message to find it's target. There is something special for you to receive and to share with another. Grow closer to me by doing what I have set for you. Walk in my power.

Look About

Look about you as you read this. What is it you think you may see? I will go with you. Like you, I can speak or keep quiet. I can guide you. Will you listen for me? Be patient. Learn to follow my leading and allow my blessing to be your provision and joy.

Throw Your Nets

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?” “No,” they answered. He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.” ‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) It is me. Recognize when I call out to you. I will direct the way for you to be going. Close your eyes to what the world wishes to shove at you. I have shown you the way. Walk secure and boldly in my love. You too can help bring in the haul .

My Reflection

Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb  first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then  the disciples went back to where they were staying. ‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) I am alive and remain unchanged. Come sit with me. Allow my healing to flow over and through you. Allow my wisdom to guide and direct you in the way you should walk. I am your example. Grow, share and reflect me to others.
