“All the crowds were amazed and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” (Matthew 12:23)
Who can do what God does except God? But didn’t Jesus say that we would do greater things? The power does, and always will, belong to God, but He does mighty things through His servants. He will do what He chooses to do. Do you believe our Lord can do all things? People ask, “Can this be?” Scripture tells us plainly, that yes, this is the Messiah, Son of David, the holy One, who heals and redeems us.
In my mind, Lord, I make things so complex. You are God, the Father of us all. You have created me, and through Jesus, You have called me to become as He is, a child of Yours. In the mystery of what You are doing, help me to learn more and more how to trust You in all things. Let me not view You in amazement as if such things were not possible, but in awe that with You all things are possible.
Lord Jesus, all power and authority belong to You. Guide me in Your goodness and mercy to humbly walk where You lead me today. Give me eyes to see what You would have me do. Lead me according to Your grace and mercy to reach out to my neighbor, knowing that whatever You ask me to do will accomplish what You desire. Teach me meekness that I may have a willing heart to serve You, Son of David. Amen.
