S // SCRIPTURE
Select a verse from today’s reading
Luke 8:10 (NKJV) And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.’
O // OBSERVATION
Why did this verse get your attention? Make a simple observation from the text
In the surrounding verses Jesus taught through many images of ordinary life: children in the marketplace, debt, planting seed, lighting a lamp, and others. This was typical of His teaching.
To the disciples of John He said, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard”.
A // APPLICATION
How can I apply this to my life today?
There is spiritual truth hidden in the normal images of my life. Jesus is still teaching through the experiences of everyday life.
He says to me what He said to John’s disciples - What do you see? What do you hear? Your spiritual questions are answered all around you if you only open your eyes and listen with your ears.
How much spiritual truth do I miss on any given day because I am not attentive?
P // PRAYER
Express yourself in prayer
Jesus, Make me attentive to Your truth and Your teaching in my day today. Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. Amen.
