This morning as I read the Bible I was struck quite strongly by a passage that had escaped me before. This is on reason that the Bible in new every morning. The Holy Spirit is guaranteed to bring new things to our heart every time we read it.
faith. They truly believed in Jesus words or they would not have prepared for it so well.
Another verse says, "The devil believes in Jesus and trembles." These characters believed in Jesus and they trembled. Just like the devil, the enemies of God tried to thwart the plan of God by stopping Jesus from rising again.
Look at the preparation. They took a pair of Roman guards to stand watch and make sure none of the Disciples stole the body. Second, they set an official seal on the big stone so it could not be moved by human force.
The enemy always goes too far. He thinks that human powers will defeat the supernatural. In this instance, as in others, God's plan, God's power and God's purposes cannot be defeated by the flesh.
How many of us are still trying to "seal off" the Power and Plan of God? I have often been a bit embarrassed to admit that I believe in healing, supernatural invasions by God and the gifts of the Spirit. It was as if I wanted to humanly control God. Putting God in a cave with a rock and a seal will no more deter His plans than those Roman guards.
This Easter why not ask God to roll away the stone for you and take the seal off the cave so the Holy Spirit can give you His Resurrection Power? This Saturday we are having a day of Seeking God's Voice. I am excited to know that God will show up.
