26Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” Matthew 19:26 NLT
This scripture in my estimation really clarified something for me. Right before this scripture Jesus is talking about how hard it is for a rich man to enter into heaven. But then, it says here that Jesus looked intently at them. intent means having the mind and the will focused on a specific purpose. In this case Jesus' mind and will was focused on His disciples. Having that kind of attention is amazing even if he didn't say anything after he gazed at them. But his words were directed to his disciples. If you are a disciple, listen up! We need to understand that God's ways are not our ways. Period. If He decides to show up in the miraculous, it's because the Father intended to do that. If He doesn't, it's okay! What's important here is the fact that Jesus attention is focused on His disciples. His gaze is upon us. Jesus. Looking intently. Wow. Thanks God for showing us your love by gazing intently and letting us know that with you EVERYTHING is possible. The impossible is possible for God.
Prayer: Let your will be done in my life and the lives of your disciples.
