The Invitation

Reading from April 25, 09
I Sam. 30-31; I Chron.10; Matt. 12

TOPIC: Restorative Partnership

SCRIPTURE: “Then He said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand!’ He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other.. (Matthew 12:13)

OBSERVATION: Jesus invited the man to partner with Him.
The man with the withered hand responded by simply doing exactly what Jesus asked him to do. The results are as always when we simply follow Jesus’ lead
Things are restored

APPLICATION: So what about you?
Have you received the invite?
If so
I would encourage you
To simply follow the instruction(s)
Don’t add to
Nor
Take away from
What He said

If you
I
We
Will respond accordingly
Restoration will occur

I don’t know about you
BUT
I want things to be the way
God Intended for them to be


PRAYER: Hey Dad, I know or at least I am suppose to know or at the very least I hope I am coming to know that it’s not all about me. BUT in this case, because it involves me, I do want things to be the way you originally intended, so help me to partner with you.
