Luke 24

1Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

8 And they remembered his words,

9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

Be Aware of Your Daily Supernatural Opportunities

"A wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries."


(1 Corinthians 16:9)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

As a Christian, you will be given great opportunities to step out
and grow in faith. But these opportunities are also frequently
accompanied by some great adversity or challenge. Why does God do that?
Because He knows that nothing worthwhile is ever easy, and the same is
true when it comes to His work in your life.

When Jesus was walking on
the water, Peter called out to Him and Peter walked on the water toward
Jesus. The problem is that Peter took his eyes off Jesus and worried
about the waters, so he sank only to be saved by Jesus. Peter took a
great opportunity, but there was danger if he took his eyes off Jesus.

You can apply that lesson to your own life, because you will have
supernatural opportunities. Just be sure to keep your focus on Jesus!

A Prayer for Today

God, I know that You will give me great opportunities today, and I
pray that I will have the faith and determination to keep my eyes on
You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
