Wed Devo

Read Luke 22:7-13. Honestly I don't get this story. There are details that I just can't make sense of for sure. I don't know why its included in the gospel. Is this all just a way of getting a place to worship the passover so they can stay under the radar of the religious leaders? Did Jesus even know who this was carrying the water pot. Was it a signal pre-arranged for the disciples or was Jesus speaking with supernatural knowledge?

Either way one point I see is that God has a place for us to worship him. He prepares a place for us. In John 14 while they're eating the meal Jesus will say, "I go to prepare a place for you." Well here we see that before he said that the Father prepared a place for them to eat this meal.

God prepares places for us to meet him. He wants us to celebrate him and his goodness. He wants us to feel his presence. He knows what we need. I think about how God has always provided exactly what we've needed. 

questions
1) where have you met with God?
2) where might he be preparing a place for you to meet him again?

prayer - Lord we are looking forward to seeing you face to face one day! Prepare our hearts by meeting with us here - now. We come hungry! Fire hunger in our hearts God! Where do you want to meet alone with me?
