Mark 4:21
We might think that a reminder such as this is unnecessary. However, Jesus understands human nature very well. He is helping us understand that we do have a tendency to set out to do something, and then do quite the opposite in the practice of it.
But also, Jesus is speaking of the fact that the good news of the gospel had now come. And, it was time for it to be revealed to all the world. As such, it must be set forth for all to see.
Bible Reading: Genesis 36:1-37:36
Scripture Memory: 1 John 2:18 “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for giving us the opportunity to be reflectors of your glory. When we live lives of humility and service to you, we can be glorious ourselves and yet not know it. When we depend upon you for everything, we can live with such joy and peace that all around us will know and understand that we know you. It is not our goal to be something great, but to be yours. For, to be ambassadors for Almighty God is a position of great privilege, though it is one of humble service. Thank you for letting us serve you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for a man who has not been to church in a while. Pray for our missionaries.
