God said to Moses, "Then all the people with whom you’re living will see how tremendous God’s work is, the work I’ll do for you."
MATTHEW 4:23 (NLT)
Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Sometimes God gets our attention through his very unconventional work.
DAILY FODDER
How open are you to the activity of God that is unusual? Do his surprises throw you for a loop or maybe they become an obsession? What should be our response to his signs and wonders?
PRAYER
God, you do incredible things, some of which we struggle to explain. Your Kingdom transcends our small experience of reality. Help me to be open to the unconventional when it points to your Kingdom. I want to keep the focus on Jesus and what he's up to — even when it feels unusual. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
