MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Sunday August 30, 2020
Topic: Before God Will Reveal Himself
Text: John 20:11 – 18
Mary Magdalene came to the tomb of Jesus, saw that it was empty and
went to inform Peter and other disciples. They all came to the tomb, saw it as
Mary reported and left. When they, Mary stayed back alone, still crying, still
hoping that somehow she could discover where Jesus’ body had been taken to, but
fearing the worst. It was that desire to get someone to speak to here that kept
here there.
This moved God to send two angels to attend to her. Her motive was
pure and undiluted unlike many in the church today who go there with wrong
motives like mundane things. Her motive was to see the dead body of Christ.
That was her bargain but God gave her more than a dead Jesus but a living
Jesus. Hallelujah!
Beloved, for God to reveal Himself to you, you must show a strong
commitment to His course. You should have shown yourself as one who loves God
without reservations. Seeing God does not come through a mere wish but through
love for God, dedication to His course and unwavering commitment.
How much do you love God? Mary Magdalene showed her commitment to
God by coming very early to the tomb, going to inform Peter and other disciples
what she saw, and coming back again to the tomb. She sat there weeping in
anticipation for news.
Do you take the pain to seek for God in things that bother you?
Seek him sincerely and you shall find (Matthew 7:7).
Food for Thought: It takes good motives to attract God’s attention.
Memory Verse: John 20 v 11
