Daily Bible Verse About Finding God's Will and Plan - Bible Time - Bible Verses

Matthew 21:42

Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes".

Key Thought

The next day after Jesus cleared the merchants and money changers out of the temple, he continued traveling throughout Jerusalem teaching. The religious leaders aggressively challenged Jesus' authority, attempting to ambush him and create an opportunity for his arrest.

So often as spiritual seekers, we get frustrated at missing the leading of God as we try to discern his will in the important decisions of our lives. Yet his truth is right under our noses. The Jewish leadership rejected God's Son, their stone of salvation, because they were not looking for a Messiah who was like Jesus. He didn't fit their idea of a Savior. In their carelessness and hardness of heart, they rejected the very stone on which their salvation should have been built.

Unfortunately, we can do the same thing when we try to fit God's will for us and Jesus' leading of us into our plan rather than trying to discern his will. Let's not stumble on the stone God provided for our salvation!

Prayer

Holy God, through your Holy Spirit, please give me insight to know your will and courage to accept it and live it in my daily life, especially when it is not easy or does not fit my idea of the way things should be. I want to be your loyal child and follow you wherever you lead. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen
