Today’s Scripture

Afterward, Jesus left Capernaum and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown. On the Sabbath, he went to teach in the synagogue. Everyone who heard his teaching was overwhelmed with astonishment. They said among themselves, “What incredible wisdom has been given to him! Where did he receive such profound insights? And what mighty miracles flow through his hands! Isn’t this Mary’s son, the carpenter, the brother of Jacob, Joseph, Judah, and Simon? And don’t his sisters all live here in Nazareth?” And they took offense at him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is treated with honor everywhere except in his own hometown, among his relatives, and in his own house.” He was unable to do any great miracle in Nazareth, except to heal a few sick people by laying his hands upon them. He was amazed at the depth of their unbelief! Then Jesus went out into the different villages and taught the people.

Mark 6:1-6

Today’s Thought

The moment you lose the ability to look at a person and see the authority in the person, your life will change forever. People under authority know how to recognize authority. The level of honor you show those in authority in your life is the degree of miracles God can do in your life. Don’t get familiar with the anointing around you.

Today’s Confession

Lord, help me not become familiar or comfortable with the anointing around me. Help me always recognize the authority in those around me. I know that the honor I show those in authority is the degree of miracles God can do in my life. Lord, I bless and honor the anointing of those around me.
