Today's Readings: OT - Psalm 49 / NT - Luke 8:40-9:6
"Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him." - Luke 8:40
In the words of one sports commentator, March Madness may be best described as the "Super Bowl" of college sports. According to WalletHub, the price for one 2022 single game ticket was $376.00. In addition, distracted employees cost businesses a loss of approximately $13.8 billion dollars per year. The fans follow the games with great expectation.
There was a day when large crowds gathered to hear the Lord speak and see Him do great works of healing. They knew the occasion would be rewarding and quite memorable for the rest of their lives. The results of each encounter were unknown but people knew that only good things could come from Jesus. The people always waited with great expectation.
What about today my friend? As you rise each morning, the Lord is ready to do amazing things in your life. Every week as we gather at church, He has tremendous plans for all who attend. But, will we welcome Him like the crowds at the Georgia Dome received their favorite basketball players last night? Do we wait for the Lord each morning and every week with great expectation?
