ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 22ND JULY 2024.
After Peter and John left the tomb and went home, Mary Magdalene remained outside the tomb. She was waiting and desiring to know what happened to Jesus’ body. As she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb. Then she got a revelation of two angels in the tomb who asked her why she was weeping. Her response suggested she was looking for Jesus’ body. On turning around, she saw a man who asked her why she wept and who she was seeking. As the man called her name, “Mary”, she recognized that it was the voice of Jesus. Jesus then gave her a message for the disciples. Many people are always eating “fast food”, driving on the fast lane, using the fast internet and looking for quick means of making wealth.
People do not like to wait for anything and many find it very hard to wait on God. Do you make out time to wait on God for counsel in his word? Do you wait on God in fasting and prayers? Learn to carve out time to be in God’s presence and wait to hear him. You will surely find him (Jer.29:13)
PRAYER: Gracious Father, grant me the grace to wait on you for my miracle.
