October 11: Nehemiah 5-6; Psalm 146; Luke 24

Scripture: Luke 24:1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

Observation: Their mission was to place spices around the body of Jesus. They realized there would be a barrier they would have to work out—the stone was too big for them to move. But they did not let the unknown keep them from embarking on their mission that morning. When they arrived, the stone was already rolled away! Jesus had risen from the dead earlier and they found an open, empty tomb.

Application: I cannot let the unknown keep me from embarking on the mission I have been given. If I am faithful to begin the journey, I can count on Him to be faithful to remove any barriers that would keep me from fulfilling my mission.

Prayer: Lord, I know I can count on you to prepare the way for me. I can take steps of faith trusting you! Amen.
