Shalom,


In Matthew 11 Jesus is rebuking the cities where the people saw great miracles, but refused to believe and change their thinking to agree with God (repent)! I believe the Visual Bible - Matthew does an excellent job of showing how it grieved Jesus that people would SEE the power of God operate through Him and still refuse to believe on Him and  choose life! 

He feels the same way when bad things happen in OUR lives! The Sovereign God set it up so that WE have the opportunity to learn to operate in HIS authority in this life! He sat down at the right hand of the Father and is watching and waiting for US to rise up IN that authority and make the enemy HIS footstool! We have a long way to go, but putting the Word of God as our #1 priority and source will put us on the fast track! Thank You, Jesus!


Shalom in Him!
