Walking Without Knowing

Wednesday April 8, 2026

Scripture: Luke 24:15 “While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them.”

Reflection: Have you ever had a moment where you realized later that God was there the whole time?That’s the Emmaus story.They were walking away.Not toward faith—but away from it.They were disappointed, confused and trying to make sense of what just happened.

And Jesus shows up but they don’t recognize Him. Not because He isn’t there but because they don’t expect Him there. And if we’re honest neither do we. We expect God in big moments like church services, answered prayers, mountaintop experiences. But Jesus shows up on ordinary roads in everyday conversations. In quiet moments we almost miss. The truth is that you may have walked through this entire week and Jesus has been right there beside you.

Consider This: This week, slow down and ask:

• Where might Jesus already be walking with me?
• What moments am I overlooking because they seem too ordinary?
• Am I trying to explain my faith… instead of experiencing Jesus?

Prayer: Jesus help me recognize You in the ordinary.On the road, in the conversations and in the quiet moments of my day.Open my eyes,not just to understand You but to experience You.And if I’ve been walking away turn me around.Walk with me this week.

Amen.
