It Is In Life’s Common Experiences

By //  by Khaleef Crumbley

Each Sunday, I try to post a devotional thought for you to meditate on. Sometimes it will be something out of my own studies and prayers. Other times – like today – it will be from another source.

Today, I am posting a great thought about how God often reveals Himself through the common experiences of life by J.R. Miller, courtesy of Grace Gems:

(J. R. Miller, “The Life of Jesus”)

Road to Emmaus

“When He was at the table with them, He took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him!” Luke 24:30-31

It was a wonderful walk that the two friends took that afternoon. The Man who joined them, seemed only to be a common stranger. He had a kindly manner, and the three were soon talking familiarly. He opened to them, the meaning of great Scripture words, saying many things His companions could never forget.

They were so pleased with His company, that when they reached the end of their journey, they urged Him to become their guest, and He consented.

It was at their evening meal together, that the Stranger revealed His identity. Perhaps, as He took the bread and was in the act of breaking it, they saw His hands with the print of the nails in them. We do not know just how it happened; we only know that it was while they were at their plain, simple evening meal–that “then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him!”

It is in life’s common experiences
, that Christ usually reveals Himself to us. One of His disciples asked Him to show them the Father–he wanted some remarkable revealing, a great glory, like the Sinai splendor. Jesus said, “Have I been with you these three years–and have you never known Me? I have been showing you the Father all the while!”

He had been doing this in sweet, gentle living, in patience, in kindness, in thoughtfulness, in purity and simplicity of life. The disciples had seen all these beautiful things in their Master, day after day–but they had not dreamed that these were divine revealings; that in them, He was revealing God!

    Sometimes, we just don’t know it but He reveals Himself to us in even the simplest ways, through others. Sometimes we are just too blind to see it. But don’t let that happen. Pray and read His Scriptures will we be aware.

      Definitely. We are always expecting big productions when it comes to God, but that often isn’t the case.
