On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you, while He was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’” Then they remembered His words.
When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

The Eleven has received news that He was alive. This would be difficult news to believe unless you could see it for yourself…but I want to point out the fact that Peter and John actually did go to see for themselves. Is it possible that you and I have missed out on some miracles of God because we weren’t willing to get up and seek it? Maybe we were too busy being frustrated or disappointed…maybe we were too busy being angry or sad. But today I just want to put that question out there…when is the last time you have really asked God for something to happen in your life, and then you actually live like you were pursuing Him to show up? Don’t miss out on the miracles of God because you’re so hung up on yourself and your circumstances. Seek God in every moment.
