Today’s Scripture

“Afterward, Jesus left Capernaum and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown.  On the Sabbath, he went to teach in the synagogue. Everyone who heard his teaching was overwhelmed with astonishment. They said among themselves, “What incredible wisdom has been given to him! Where did he receive such profound insights? And what mighty miracles flow through his hands!  Isn’t this Mary’s son, the carpenter, the brother of Jacob, Joseph, Judah, and Simon? And don’t his sisters all live here in Nazareth?” And they took offense at him.  Jesus said to them, “A prophet is treated with honor everywhere except in his own hometown, among his relatives, and in his own house.”  He was unable to do any great miracle in Nazareth, except to heal a few sick people by laying his hands upon them.  He was amazed at the depth of their unbelief! Then Jesus went out into the different villages and taught the people.” 

—Mark 6:1-6 (TPT)

Today’s Thought

The moment you lose the ability to look at a man and see the authority in the man, your life will change forever. People under authority know how to recognize authority. The level of honor you show those in authority is the degree of miracles God can do in your life. Don’t get familiar with the anointing around you.

Today’s Confession

God, I choose to walk in honor. I recognize the authority You’ve placed in my life and I receive from it with faith and humility. I will not let familiarity rob me of the miraculous. I honor the anointing and open my heart to receive.
