After taking an evening alone to pray, Jesus walks across the Sea of Galilee as his disciples row across. When they see him they are terrified, but after he assures them that it is him, they remain amazed even as their fear dissipates. Why? "Their hearts were hardened." Even though they had seen numerous miracles from Jesus, the reality of his divinity had still not penetrated their hearts and minds. What Truths is God attempting to communicate to his people today through his Word that they aren't hearing? Where are our hearts/minds hard? Introspection is needed, mentorship and discipleship is necessary. The Church needs to hear God when he speaks, needs to be open to the Spirit, for this need we pray.
