Jesus knows all our past, current and future deeds

Yesterday merges with Today and leads to Tomorrow

My thoughts about the verses:

I think it is amazing how God shows me something like today's photo.  This would have been a shot that I would have taken and over time knowing me had gotten rid of thinking it was something that I would never need.  Then I read today's verse and understood that even though I could not walk the day this was shot God wanted me to see it so I would understand the message that people needed to see.

I wonder if Lincoln would have ever thought that he would change the world the way he did.  I wonder what he would think about the monuments that commemorate his life.  I bet he would have never considered that towns and roads and so much more would be named after him.  Makes you wonder if he would have done anything differently.

As discussed yesterday the Samaritan woman's entire experience with Jesus was unique and very shocking.  Now imagine her total look of surprise when Jesus told her of her past.  Imagine then the thoughts running through her mind as Jesus told her that currently the man she was with was not her husband.  Then to take it one step further he predicted the future.

Now in today's world we would start looking for the hidden camera.   We would start looking for the small concealed earpiece.  Immediately we would suspect our family was involved or a close friend.  We live in a world where we have lost the ability to believe that things can happen without the power of magic.

Yet, the Samaritan woman did not have this problem.  She accepted that Jesus was the Messiah she had so longed waited to see.  She wanted the filling of the spirit and immediately considered that the man that knew all was the promised one.  She left what she was doing and ran and told the rest of the town.

The story is very simple the Messiah is willing to forgive us of our past.  The spirit desires to help us throughout the day. God the Parent is preparing our home for tomorrow. Jesus is waiting today to forgive us of all the things that we have ever done or will ever do.  The Holy spirit is waiting to help us live a life that is centered in love and peace.  God the Parent is longing for us to join the trinity in Heaven.

Yet, here is where we come into the story do we run or do we trust?  The Samaritan woman did two things that day she did run to tell others.  She also trusted that Jesus was much more than just a simple man.  She believed that she had found the Messiah.  Her trust is what brought others to know Christ and to walk freely in peace from that day forward.

Prayer:

Dear God thank you for preparing a holy city for your people.  Dear God we thank you for the blessings that come from us being with Jesus at the table of life.  We ask right now God that you take away our hurts and our pain.  We ask that you fill us with your gentle spirit.  May we learn to put the past behind us and live each day anew.  May we strive to meet the savior in Heaven and to relax in the home that has been prepared for us.

Questions:

Do you continue to run from the Savior?  Have you placed your trust in the compassionate Messiah?  Are you living today as if it were your last providing love and peace to all those around you?  Are you truly ready if today was your last?  Has your spirit been filled?  Will you allow your deeds of the past,  your worries for the future destroy the grace God is willing to give today?  It is your choice, do your run or do you trust?
