Recognizing Him

In 1976, the Statler Brothers released a song entitled Would You Recognize Jesus? The chorus asks “Would you recognize Jesus if you met Him face to face? Or would you wonder if He’s just another one you could not place?”

Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!”
John 20:16

Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus’ closest followers, had many personal encounters with Him. He cast seven demons from her, she anointed His feet with her tears and expensive perfume, she contributed financially to His ministry, and she was present at His crucifixion. In the scripture leading to today’s verse, Mary Magdalene visited the tomb of Jesus and found His body missing. Peter and John also visited the tomb to find the body gone. The disciples leave, but Mary lingers. As she’s standing outside the tomb weeping, Jesus appears. Mary thinks He’s the gardener, but when Jesus calls her name, she immediately recognizes Him.

Have you had personal experiences with Jesus but sometimes still fail to recognize His presence? Listen for His voice. As you pray today, ask for the voice of God to speak loud and clear to you. Pray also for His presence to be made known across the nation.

Practicing Discernment

Corrie ten Boom once said, “Discernment is God’s call to intercession, never to faultfinding.” A discerning person intercedes through prayer or action rather than laying blame.

Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. The woman was discerning and beautiful, but the man was harsh and badly behaved.
1 Samuel 25:3

A perfect example is Abigail. Abigail was a wise woman married to a foolish man. In the scriptures surrounding today’s verse, David was running from Saul. In need of supplies, he sent men to Nabal asking for provisions. Nabal rudely dismissed David’s request and insulted him as well. David responded by sending his army to wipe out Nabal’s household. Then Abigail entered the story. Learning what happened, she interceded for her husband and her household. Gathering food and gifts, she set out to meet David. Finding him, she bowed to the ground, asked for forgiveness, took the blame for the situation, and praised David’s character while reminding him of God’s promises. This act diffused the situation and saved Nabal’s household.

When other’s make poor decisions, do you find fault or fall to your knees in prayer on their behalf? Start showing discernment today by interceding for the nation’s leaders as they make decisions that affect the country.

Mothers Behind the Men

Many of our nation’s presidents recognized the impact of godly mothers – as evidenced in these quotes. “All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the…education I received from her,” George Washington. “I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me,” Abraham Lincoln. “From my mother I learned the value of prayer, how to have dreams and believe I could make them come true.” Ronald Reagan. These leaders guided the country through difficult circumstances and attributed their success in part to their mother’s teachings.

I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.
II Timothy 1:5

In today’s verse, Paul also recognizes the importance of godly mothers and grandmothers. His letter to Timothy mentions Lois and Eunice who taught Timothy scripture from childhood and modeled sincere faith despite a less than ideal environment (Timothy’s father wasn’t a Christian). Their influence led Timothy to become Paul’s traveling companion in spreading the gospel and ultimately a leader in the early church.

As you pray for America’s future, remember mothers and grandmothers and their impact on the next generation of leaders.

A Buttress for President Barak Obama

A buttress is an architectural term referring to a structure built against a wall to support or reinforce. While seemingly insignificant, without it the wall would fall. In the period of the judges in the Old Testament, one might call Deborah a buttress of sorts. The only female judge, Deborah stood out – and stood firm – among her peers.

And Deborah said to Barak, “Up! For this is the day in which the Lord has given Sisera into your hand. Does not the Lord go out before you?”
Judges 4:14

She called the commander Barak with a message from God: to gather his troops and head to the river Kishon, where the Lord would deliver his enemy Sisero to him. Even with God’s guarantee of success, Barak wouldn’t go without Deborah. Some people are so full of the Spirit of God, just being around them makes you feel more confident. Deborah obliged Barak and offered the wise counsel of today’s verse.

She reminded him that God had already given him victory and had gone before him into battle. Remember the faithfulness of Deborah and consider who might need your encouragement today. Ask God to point out people who need to hear how He has gone before them. Then pray for Christians who hold political offices to be encouraged as well.
