Reading: Job 5-6 and Luke 8
Scripture: Luke 8:53-54, And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.”
Thoughts: Sarah laughed when she overheard that she was going to have a child in her old age, these people laughed when Jesus said he was sleeping. Are there situations in your life where God has said something was going to happen and you laughed at the absurdity of the idea? How often do we solely look at a situation with our worldly eyes that only show the can nots and the should nots and the impossible? When God is calling us to walk on water do we step out of the boat like Peter and try to do as he says or are we like the other apostles not willing to get out? So who is laughing now?
Prayer: Lord you know our heart and you know the plans you have for us. Help me to walk in those plans and not laugh when I cannot see how. Help me to not doubt that you are taking care of us and that no matter the situation you will use it for our good. Lead me and guide me through the trials and tribulations that are going our way.
