Tuesday, June 23 — Seeking a Show

Luke 23:8 - Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.

Scripture says Herod hoped to see Jesus perform a sign.

He wanted entertainment.
He wanted excitement.
He wanted to be impressed.

What he didn't want was repentance.

Sometimes we approach God the same way. We want Him to amaze us, solve our problems, or give us a spiritual experience. But Jesus didn't come merely to entertain us. He came to transform us.

A faith built on excitement alone will never last. Genuine faith is built on surrender and obedience.

Consider whether you've been seeking God's hand more than His heart.

Prayer: Lord, help me desire You more than what You can do for me. Amen.
