7/16/13 Daily Devotion

Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

What a moment that must have been for those within the presence of Jesus. Here He was, unbeknownst to them, teaching powerfully about Himself as they walked along the road to Emmaus. The events of the previous days had left them hurt and confused, and Jesus wanted to help them embrace the magnitude of the situation while becoming more at ease within their hearts. At first, they were kept from recognizing Him, but as they were eating together Jesus broke bread, and their eyes were opened to His presence. Their lives were blessed by two things: one obviously being the presence of God, and the other the teaching of His Word. While we do not have the physical presence of God with us, we have, to guide us, His Spirit and His Word. These tools, these blessings, were purposefully brought into our lives for our utilization, that we might walk a more focused, more Godly existence upon this earth. Are you utilizing these blessings within your life?
