GIVE JESUS THE DRIVER’S SEAT IN YOUR LIFE!

Today’ the Sadducees try to trap Jesus. Jesus’ answer however cuts to the heart of the problem. He starts by simply laying down that the Sadducees are misled because they do not know either the Scriptures or the power of God. The Sadducees struggled with a certain pride and arrogance which clouded their thinking and led to self-righteousness. Jesus attempts to gently but firmly redirect them to clear thinking.

Jesus also questions our own understanding of the Scriptures and the power of God. Jesus tries to help us realize that we are often misled about the things of life. Emotion and errors cloud our thinking and reasoning and lead us down the wrong path. When we find ourselves feeling “misled” or when we realize we do not really understand God or His power at work, we should stop and pray and seek what God has to say. We must step back in humility and acknowledge to God and ourselves that we do not understand His ways and will. We must listen and wait on the Lord to take the lead.

Prayer: Lord, I do want to know the truth. At times I can allow myself to be misled. Help me to humble myself before You so that You can take the lead. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen
