Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures…
Luke 24:45
Lord Jesus, open my eyes today to understand Your Scriptures, that they might speak to my heart and my circumstances, reminding me of Your never-ending presence in my life. Show me how to apply each word to my situations and how I can lean on them to provide me with the encouragement I need to press on. Use them today to reveal the glory that is Yours in the Father, connecting the dots in my mind’s eye to the masterplan that was unfolded in Your coming, and which shall soon be revealed in Your imminent return. Lord by them You show me how You are indeed working out all things for my good. Lord they hold the key enabling me to make sense of the broken pieces of my existence, connecting the dots into a glorious picture of Your watchful care. In them, through them and by them, You build me up in my innermost faith that I might be able to stand against all that comes against me knowing who I am and Whose I am. Open up my mind to understand Your Scriptures that I might apply them to every aspect of my life to Your glory. Amen.
