When His Word and Works Were Rejected
At that time Jesus declared, I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. Matthew 11:25-26 (ESV).
Jesus faced rejection of his message and miracles by those who deemed themselves wise and understanding. Despite this, he gave thanks to God for revealing truths to the humble and open hearted. This act of gratitude shifted focus from rejection to the joy of revelation.
How do you respond when your efforts and messages are not received well? Can you find something to be thankful for in these situations?
Prayer: Father God, Please help me to find gratitude even when I face rejection or misunderstanding. May I always recognize the blessings you reveal to me everyday. In Jesus name, Amen.
