Mark 6
Jesus is unquestionably amazing yet there will be times in our lives when we feel underwhelmed by Jesus (or perhaps other emotions!). The folks at DesiringGod.com encourage us to see Jesus "properly" to avoid such hardened hearts.
We cannot expect to fully experience Jesus unless we truly acknowledge Jesus for who He is...and once we do, we begin to give our life away for Him and we begin to grow our faith in Him to do big things IN and THROUGH us.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are amazing...ALL the time. You continue to do amazing things in my life every day - thank You Jesus for how You richly bless me. I am not worth such blessings. I daily miss the mark. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
They were completely amazed, for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened. v51-52
