Wed Devo

Read Luke 23:44-56. I'm just amazed at Jesus' faithfulness. Many start well. Some who don't start well pick it up and finish well. Some might even start a project and start poorly, do ok for a while and finish bad but Jesus was faithful through every second of his death. He truly was the son of God. He truly is our model on obedience to the Father!

I know what it is to be in shock watching a loved one die. Your mind doesn't really work. No one speaks. Food looses its taste and your memory of the events is mostly in black and white. God actually gave us the ability to go into shock to help us manage trauma. These woman are in the early stages. Grief will soon set in and their emotions will start to awaken from their numbness. The real pain is yet ahead - or so it would seem. But Sunday is coming and along with it the greatest deliverance from shock - resurrection.

God loves to let things hit the trauma stage and then show up!

1) What seems to have died in your life and need resurrecting?
2) When God tells you to do something where do you struggle the most - getting started, staying strong in the middle or finishing well?

prayer
Father - increase our will to serve you. Show up Lord and invade our lives with your presence.
