Once again we see how Jesus takes the initiative when He approached two travelers on the road to Emmaus, as they were heading away from Jerusalem. We learned that the two travelers weren't able to recognize Jesus, and perhaps had different expectations of how God's plan would unfold. We too can miss His presence when it's not what we are expecting, even when He is right in front of us. He pursues us even when we are not pursuing him. He comes after us even when we are walking away.
Follow-up Application
Pray: Lord, open my eyes to see You and see where and how You're working. I want to see what You see.
Ponder: Do your expectations blind you to how Jesus is working in your life? Do your expectations need to be realigned?
Invite: Invite Him into your life and into your expectations and hopes.
