John 14:8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."
Have you ever been slow to understand something someone is trying to teach you? I have. Like Philip, we hear, but we don’t understand. We read our Bibles, sit through sermon after sermon, listen to podcast after podcast, and experience the love of God through parents, siblings, pastors, and friends, yet, we want more because what we have seen and experienced wasn’t understood. Philip requested what he thought they lacked. "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." There is probably some “Philip” in each of us that feels like Jesus hasn’t given us enough to live by or to live for? Like Philip, we just don’t understand what God has been doing and revealing to us everyday of our lives. Have you been following Jesus, but still feel something is missing? Get ready, Philip. You are about to come to your pivot point where everything changes!
