Jesus visited His hometown in Mark 6. As the story goes He could not perform a lot of miracles there, because of their lack of faith in Him due to their familiarity. They were familiar with His family members, upbringing etc.. It makes me wonder and consider the many ways in which we might have become so "familiar" with God that there is nothing so special any more. Do we go through the motions of church, worship or quiet time , without having an expectation of newness and frshness?
Today, God wants us to look at our relationship with Him. Has it gone stale or is it fresh like a morning breeze. If its like the former, He is asking us to revive it; To light a fire to it, to bring it alive. May our encounter with Him be fresh. May our relationship with Him be renewed every morning.
