S ~ But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him. (Luke 24:16 NKJV)
O ~ On the road to Emmaus, Jesus walked with two disciples. Two disciples who were talking of all the things that had happened in Jerusalem. They 'conversed and reasoned', and when Jesus drew near, they did not recognize Him. He calls them 'slow of heart to believe'.
A ~ I wonder how many time I too, 'converse and reason' about Jesus, and when He draws near, don't recognize His presence. They attempted to explain things to Jesus. I wonder if any pride crept in their hearts - 'let us tell you what happened - we've got some perspective on this'. I want to be aware of the presence of Jesus, and recognize His nearness ~ not just quote facts, verses, theology, or my perspective.
P ~ Lord, I know you have been near and I have not known it. Please help me to live in communion with you. May that overflow to others.
