One of the things we see in Gospels, during Jesus ministry, is that so many people missed what He was doing.

They didn’t see.

Maybe they didn’t want to see it.

Maybe they would have done things different from Jesus.

Maybe they disagreed with how He did things.

But, for whatever reason, so many of the religious leaders missed what Jesus was doing.

Take the text in Luke 13 this morning:

14But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had cured on the sabbath, kept saying to the crowd, ‘There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured, and not on the sabbath day.’ 15But the Lord answered him and said, ‘You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger, and lead it away to give it water? 16And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the sabbath day?’

Because it wasn’t the way that would have done it, the teacher got mad.

He said, you shouldn’t heal on the Sabbath. But, he missed the most important point – someone was healed!

And He missed it!  He missed what Jesus was doing!  He missed the miracle that Jesus performed!  He missed that hope that Jesus gave.

Because He was focusing on what didn’t really matter.

Do we, in our lives, miss what God is trying to do, because we focus on what doesn’t matter?  Do we miss what God may be trying to accomplish in our lives, or in the lives others because it’s not the way that we’d do it.

Do we miss the things that we should be praising God for instead of complaining about?

Don’t miss what God is trying to do. Be on the lookout for what His spirit is doing!

God is at work, all around you today.

Don’t miss it!
