Daily Fountain Devotional 9 April 2026 TOPIC: Seek To Understand The Word
SCRIPTURE READING: Luke 24:25-27
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
After His resurrection, Jesus walked alongside two disciples on the road to Emmaus. Though they were distressed, He took time to explain the Scriptures, showing them how the events they witnessed fulfilled God’s promises. He rebuked them for being “slow of heart to believe” all the prophets had spoken. Beginning wvith Moses and all the Prophets, He revealed the Scriptures about Himself and how they point to His suffering and resurrection as a necessary and important part of salvation. As He was speaking, their hearts burned within them, and they saw the truth.
In the same way, we sometimes face doubts and confusion when we do not fully understand God’s ways. Yet, God is willing to open our understanding if we diligently seek Him. Just as Jesus opened the Scriptures to His disciples, He can also bring light and understanding to your heart. Trust that He has a purpose for every situation, and He will strengthen your faith as you seek Him. Read and meditate on God’s word daily and it will guide you when you feel confused about anything.
PRAYER: Lord, open my heart daily to understand your Word in Jesus’Name. Amen.
