Scripture
39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
Reflection
Physically, the distance between the head and heart is only about one to two feet and yet it seems like miles when it comes to translating what you know to what you believe. Knowledge though powerful can be a very dangerous thing. The very thing that brings light to your mind can cast a shadow over the dark hard walls that surround your heart. It’s only when we know and believe that we can begin truly living in Jesus. The head and the heart need each other.

Prayer
When challenges come we can so easily forget where our identity comes from. Today take time to pause and be reminded of God’s love for you.
