Reading: **Matthew 11** Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life. **Jesus rebuked entire cities not for lack of knowledge, but for ignoring the clear evidence of God’s work among them. How often do we overlook God's fingerprints in our own lives—healings, provision, guidance—simply because we've grown used to His presence? If we don't respond to His works with repentance and gratitude, we risk spiritual blindness.** Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer… 1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you). 2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **Lord, open my eyes to see where You are moving. Help me respond with repentance, awe, and obedience.** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Take Action:** 1. Make a list of 3 ways you've seen God work in the past month. 2. Share one of those testimonies with someone to encourage their faith.
