Mark 3:15
What we have here is actually the conference of authority. Though power is involved, authority is what is required for these men to be able to do these things. For, indeed, it would not be by their own power or authority that any such thing would take place. For those who would say that we all have such authority today, I ask why then other followers of Christ at this time were not given this authority? We know, for example, that Matthias, who later replaced Judas, was with Jesus as much as the twelve, yet he is not involved here. Thus, not every follower of Christ is sent forth in this way.

Scripture Memory: Jude 1:12 “These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;”

There is no circumstance that your peace is not capable of handling. You can guide through the darkest valley. Your power to lead me in the right way never abates. May we never fail to look to your way! You have the strength we need for every day. You are totally awesome! Your power and authority are absolute. We cannot honor or glorify you enough. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
