Memorize and Reflect

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

Prayer Direction

Ask God to keep your heart open to miracles. Notice where His power has operated in your life and is present today. Pray for strength; to hold fast to the truth, stay grafted into Jesus, and be ready for the Holy Spirit to guide you and teach you. Pray to see spiritually, to not become blind and stubborn, instead remaining open to the truth.

“Live It!” Challenge

Go through the Gospel of John, read and mark all the miracles you find. Pray and take notes, look for the subtle differences and dig deep to see what Jesus is demonstrating to us. Then look for the ways those miracles speak into your life today.
