John 11:10 But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

Jesus’ response to the disciples questioning was to make them think about their own lack of wisdom and not to question His wisdom.

We don’t have to look very hard at our lives to find the mistakes we make or the wrong choice we have made.

God does not have this problem but wants us to know all about it! We need to see where we are going in life and the best way is to ask direction from the one who knows the directions!

Asking God for direction will always work and the answers will always be the best!

John 11:8 The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?”

The disciples could not quite fathom out why Jesus would walk into a trap! We too have worries when we see people walking straight into traps – it just does not seem logical!

There are some things in life that are going to happen no matter what and we have to accept those things; the more we are willing to work with and around them the more we can move forward.

Jesus knew what had to be done and chose to do what was right. Are we really willing to put aside our own safety to do what is right?

2 Samuel 14:11 She said, ‘Then let the king invoke the Lord his God to prevent the avenger of blood from adding to the destruction, so that my son shall not be destroyed.’ ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’ he said, ‘not one hair of your son’s head will fall to the ground.’

Today as we remember all those that have fallen before us in churches all round the United Kingdom and beyond, let us petition our Lord in the same manner as this woman requested of the king.

We have seen death and destruction, much of which is based on man’s greed and pride; so let us never treat those sins as normal in our lives. They are not.

This woman was sent by Joab to break down barriers. Sometimes we need a push too!

Thank you Lord for opening our hearts to your love.
