Power outageMatt. 13:57-58
And they took offense at Him [by misjudging Him, thinking Him ordinary].
But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not WITHOUT HONOR [not shown respect] except in his own country and in his own house. [those who should be the closest to Him]
And HE DID NOT DO MANY WORKS OF POWER THERE,
because of their unbelief [dishonor lead to unbelief – which lead to forfeiting His blessings].

Pray the Word:
Lord, it’s incomprehensible to us that anyone could dishonor the Lord Jesus . . . what were these people thinking? . . . . Didn’t they know that by treating Jesus without honor and respect they stopped Him dead in His tracks to be able to do any MIGHTY WORKS OF POWER among them??? But could it be, at the times when we‘ve wondered why we weren’t seeing Your MIGHTY WORKS OF POWER in our lives, we were not living in honor of Your Lordship --- or our human assumptions were outweighing Your authority --- or that our unbelief was shutting us off from the power of Your blessings? Could we be part of the cause of the POWER OUTAGE we’re experiencing today? We ask for forgiveness and for strength of conviction to live our lives daily in honor and respect to You, our Savior and Lord!

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
