Luke 11:14-16  One day Jesus cast out a demon from a man who couldn’t speak, and when the demon was gone, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed, but some of them said, “No wonder he can cast out demons. He gets his power from Satan, the prince of demons.” Others, trying to test Jesus, demanded that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority. (NLT)

Some people are impossible to please. To them, miracles are like Lay’s Potato Chips. No one can eat just one. No one is satisfied with one miracle. Jesus has to produce another to prove the first one wasn’t a fluke. I mean, anyone can get lucky now and then. 

Seeing is not always believing. 

Notice the wording in verse 16. They were testing Jesus. They were demanding a miraculous sign. There is an obstinance on display that might lead us to conclude these people wouldn’t believe Jesus if he died and rose again. 

What does Jesus have to do to gain your approval? 

How many miracles of Jesus will it take for you to stop worrying and start trusting? 

It’s a good day when we see Jesus for who he is and acknowledge that everything he does is good and pleasing. It’s a good day when we are satisfied with Jesus, making no more demands and trusting him completely.

I will live a good day in light of who Jesus is.

Our Father, you have nothing to prove. You are good and do what is good, right, just, and compassionate. We can trust you with all things at all times. Empower us today to live with quiet confidence and dependence. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
