Reading: Luke 10 and Job 9-10
Scripture: Luke 10:20, “Nevertheless, do not rejoice in
this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are
written in heaven.”
Observation: I know as humans it is natural to brag about
things especially for us men. “Look what I made”, “I caught a fish this big”,
or my favorite (and normally famous last words) “Hey, Watch this.” We want to show how good we are or that
there is something we can do that others can’t we like to brag.
Application: Here Jesus hearing back from the 77 that he
sent out coming back and going, ‘OMG, this was so awesome the demons had to
listen to us when we used your name.’ Just like we would but he said ‘Yep
that’s cool but don’t let it go to your hear and don’t brag about that brag
about the fact that you get to go to heaven and your name is in the book of
life. We need to remember that sure though the Holy Spirit and in the name of
Jesus Christ we have power over demons and sickness, but that is not the
coolest thing and we need to share that. We need to brag about our home in
heaven and share how to get there.
Prayer: Lord, you are so amazing, you made the sun and the
stars and the earth and I stand in awe of you. I thank you for another day to
enjoy the works of your hands and the great blessings you have for us. Lord I
ask you help me to brag on you and your great gift of salvation though your
son. I want to brag on what you have done for me and not about the things you
have done though me. I am a conduit not the source and I want you to have the
glory.
