[S] 1 Corinthians 15:6 --
6After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;
[O] Jesus appeared to more than 500 people after His resurrection and most of them have remained abiding in Jesus' promise but some have fallen away from following Christ even though they have experienced Jesus' resurrection in person. At times I wished I experienced some tangible miracles of Jesus in my life like starting tomorrow morning I will miraculously wake up early every morning to start the day with my devotion because I am thinking such an experience will just totally transform my life. This may be the case, but then just like some of these fallen asleep people after seeing the resurrected Jesus, it may not last for long before I lose the impact in my life. So, I shouldn't wish for such an experience to sustain my spiritual life but to be faithfully purify my heart on daily basis.
[A] Don't get too hung up on the time of my waking up time but focus on when I go to bed and with what type of a heart after a hard-working and tiresome day.
[P] Dear Father, may I not seek for miraculous powers but a faithful heart purified to hear your voice every day. In Jesus' name. Amen.
