Provoked to Prove Yourself
Rod Shimabukuro
Scripture
So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” For not even his brothers believed in him. John 7:3-5
Observation
Jesus brothers mock, provoke Jesus to "come out" to reveal Himself by going to a Feast where Jews would persecute/want to kill Him.
Application
I may be disliked, even hated, even.... by "spiritual" family I thought were close to me.
Prayer
Help me Oh God, to be discerning, and loving and fierce in knowing Your truth...even when I should speak or act on Your behalf.
