Eyes of Jesus

Day 25: March 13^th Wednesday

Scripture: Matthew 9:35-38

Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

Read the scripture slowly.  Notice words or phrases that jump out at you.  Ask God to show you what you need to see.

Remember back a couple weeks ago on February 20^th when we read this same scripture?  You read a news story and looked at the people and situation through the eyes of Jesus.  You were asked, “Is the Holy Spirit motivating you to do anything?” 

Did the Holy Spirit motivate you to do anything?  What was it? Did you do it?  Did you tell anyone what the Holy Spirit led you to do? 

Share with someone today the news story you read three weeks ago.  Tell them what the Holy Spirit showed you to do.  Ask them how they might help you fulfill the calling the Spirit has placed on your heart. 

Go back to the page for February 20^th.  If you did not find a news story that spoke to you, try the exercise again today.  Ask the Holy Spirit to move you to action.

In our print prayer journals we have a space for Notes, Ideas, Drawings, and Observations.  Feel free to keep your own journal.  Or share your ideas, prayers, and observations in the comments section below.
