Relax and clear your head. Listen for the voice of God. What is God saying to you to-day?

Luke 6:6-11 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

On another sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees watched him to see whether he would cure on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him. Even though he knew what they were thinking, he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” He got up and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to destroy it?” After looking around at all of them, he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

Reflect

“And his hand was restored”. What a beautiful story and that story still goes on today. We who have come to Christ Jesus have experienced much of the same thing as the man with the withered hand. Our withered heart, our soul, and life of sin have been forgiven and our lives have been restored through the power of Jesus Christ.

Pray

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your mercy and care toward us.  Even while we were yet sinners You cared for us and restored us, even when others did not care about our condition.  Amen

Go with God!
