[S] Luke 10:20 --
Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."
[O] Jesus empowered his disciples to carry out supernatural miracles on their mission trips. What an amazing sight it must have been for sure. However, Jesus charges them not to rejoice (and trust) in these supernatural powers but foremost rejoice knowing that we are considered as God's children.
[A] As I take part in God's ministry, I desire to see God's unparalleled power in our midst and when God graciously invites me to witness Him in action, that is pure awesomeness. However, I must be careful not to lean on that too much forgetting what really matters -- being in God's family in the first place. This is the gospel message and I need to be renewed in it daily to remind myself and rejoice that God saved me from this dying world.
[P] Dear Jesus, may Your commands to these disciples be a lesson for me to follow daily -- to rejoice in Your saving grace before anything else. Thank You for what You have done for me at the Cross. In Your name. Amen.
