John 20:1 — “Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.”
Before the sun came up, before the city stirred, Mary was already moving toward a tomb. That tells you much about this woman.
When we first meet her, Jesus is casting seven demons out of her. Seven is the number of completeness. Whatever darkness she had walked in, it had her completely.
And then Jesus set her free.
She became a financial supporter of His ministry, stood at the cross when disciples fled, and became the first person to announce the resurrection.
God is not impressed by your past or intimidated by it. He simply calls your name.
I’m Lonnie Davis and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Suggested Prayer: Lord, thank You for calling our name regardless of our past. May we, like Mary, recognize Your voice and follow.
