10/22 - Luke 10

Luke 10

Notice the number of disciples has grown from 12 to 72. The 72 are sent forth and have an incredible experience. "The seventy-two returned with joy" They had experienced the power of God and had seen "even the demons submit to us in your name". Jesus' response is his own joy. He says a prayer of thanksgiving and tells the disciples how blessed they are to have experienced this.

There are moments in our lives when God calls us to step beyond our comfort area to a new task. The danger is that we are so overcome with uneasiness or even fear, that we do not respond. The moment passes and we miss what God wanted.
