It is very easy to become blind to the work of God. We can get so caught up in our way of doing things that we can miss when God is at work right in front of us. This is exactly what happened to the religious leaders who opposed Jesus. In 11:27 and following, we see that they refused to acknowledge the work of God in John the Baptist, even though all of the common people clearly could see that John was a prophet. This showed that their hearts were truly not in tune with God.
In this season of repentance, I would challenge you to look at some of the areas of your faith where you have been judgmental towards the work of others. Maybe it is those from a different denomination, those within our church, or even people within your own family. While we’re certainly called to live out biblical truth, sometimes we confuse truth with the way we’ve always done it, or with what we are most comfortable with. Confess your heart towards God, and ask him to show you how he is at work through those whom you have greeted with a hard heart. I think you will find that this will be a very rewarding experience for you that will reward your faith, and help to repair relationships as well. .
