Today's reading will cover John Chapter 20:2-18 and Matthew Chapter 28:11-15.
Today we will read about the disbelief and doubt and lack of understanding both the people closest to Jesus and the Jewish leaders had on the third day, the day Jesus rose from the dead.
In our discussion for daily application we will talk about how we, too, can lack understanding in difficult circumstances and experience doubt, disbelief, and discouragement even though we KNOW that God is in control and knows the plans He has for us- not to hurt us, but plans to prosper us. As much as we want to believe during difficult times it can, indeed, be difficult to stay focused on our faith in God. During these times it is especially important that we remember God's faithfulness to us and be faithful in our trust in Him, even though we cannot see the big picture and don't know what God will do until we can see it. Like Naomi and Ruth returning to Jerusalem without husbands or sons so that Boaz would redeem Naomi's field and marry Ruth, together becoming the ancestors to Jesus, we cannot always see or know what God's plan is for us, but we CAN trust in Him, knowing that God absolutely WILL work good into everything, even though it seems "bad" to us.
