“And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul” (Acts 16:14 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible). Are you having difficulty believing God for a miracle or perhaps you are struggling with a belief in God at all? I challenge you to sincerely ask God to give you a trusting heart. I have full confidence that, like Lydia, the Master will create the conditions in your heart that will allow you to receive and accept the Word of God.

Prayer: Lord, please open my heart as you did for Lydia in the book of Acts. I want to grasp all that you have planned for me today. Open my understanding of Your Word and enable me to live an abundant life.

“When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe…” (Matthew 9:8 in the New International Version of the Holy Bible). This Scripture is refering to the miracle that Jesus performed for a paralyzed man who stood up, picked up his mat and started walking home. No one in the small town of Capernaum in northern Galilee had ever witnessed anything like this before! And furthermore, Jesus not only healed the man He also told him he was forgiven. Can you imagine seeing this happen with your own eyes? The crowd that day were awed by the power of God on display before them – healing and forgiveness all at one time! We are overwhelmed today by awe inspiring advances in science and technology. We’ve become so accustomed to phenominal inventions and medical breakthoughs that we tend to lose our sense of wonder. We must be careful not to lose our sense of awe when it comes to God. Does His power and majesty still take your breath away?
