“Now when Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him” (Matthew 5:1).
Please note how practical Jesus is. The crowds have come, so He goes up the hill and has the people set down in a natural amphitheater. He can then speak to the thousands who are gathered. Our Lord always knows what He is doing. Who knows whether He created the place to be as it was for just this purpose? Jesus will do all that is needed to complete our faith. You have His word on that.
What an amazing thing it would be to see Jesus. At every turn, He took advantage of the opportunity to share with others the gift of the Good News of the freedom which He came to give to all who believe. Help us to walk in that Good News and share with others what has been shared through the Gospels. Help us take advantage of every situation that Your witness may be heard in a world that is crazy, going everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Lead me Savior in the way You would have me go. Guide me in Your goodness to know that in You there is always hope. All the days ahead of me are in Your hands. Therefore, lead me today so that I may do those things which will make tomorrow a good day in Your sight. Help me to find those places where I can speak to the concerns which are all around me. Guide me in Your goodness Lord now and forever. Amen.
