Meditate on verse 5a.

After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart…

The Pharisees continued maliciously watching Jesus in order to bring accusations against Him. After healing a man’s withered hand, Jesus asked the Pharisees a question about harming versus healing and saving versus killing. Their attitudes and refusal to answer made Jesus both very angry and deeply sad. How could people who claimed to love God care so little about others?

What does Jesus see and how does He feel when He looks around at you? How will you answer His questions about what you are doing to bring good to others instead of harm, saving their lives instead of killing them?

Let the LORD examine your heart for hardness. Ask Him to remove your hard heart and replace it with His compassionate heart.

Pray Mark 3:5 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, please forgive ________ and me

for making You angry and grieved at our hardness of heart. 

We stretch our lives out to You. 

Restore us!

In Your name, Jesus~”
