“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy......,Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”— Luke 10:19-20 (Nkjv)
We need to take note of what is more important in the things of God, according to these words of our Lord Jesus Christ. Understand that there will always be a difference between what is important to the Lord and what is important to us. This is for the simple reason that He is God and we are human. A such, His ways are not as our ways, neither His thoughts like ours.
In today’s scripture, the Lord Himself sent the disciples with power to deal with the works of the Devil. Of course, that power in His name worked and they returned with testimonies. However, they were rejoicing over what was less important, missing the main thing. And that is, being known in Heaven. Is that not like us?
These and many other important things are the points we miss when we focus mainly on the miraculous and the supernatural most of the time. Meanwhile, the Lord may be pointing us to some other things that really matter which we may easily not grasp. In these last days, may our eyes be opened to what is relevant and needful to realize and understand. Jesus is coming soon!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, please help me to understand what is important & relevant as far as my Christian life is concerned. May I focus on what matters to You, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
