Mark 5:19
Jesus enlists a great missionary on this day. Though the man would go with him, there was much work to do in his own back yard. Jesus knew that, though he would not be accepted by these people, this man might be a great influence among them.
Notice how he words his directions to him. He reminds the man of what had just been done for him, and he mentions compassion. These are the motivators, that Christ would do so much for us, and that he has compassion on us. It makes us want to serve him every minute.
Numbers 30:1-31:54
1 John 4:4 “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
Heavenly Father, thank you for communicating with us. You lead us and guide us in the way that we should go. You give us the plan you have step by step and you supply for each need in turn. You never communicate your will to us just exactly like we would expect. But, if we will listen, you will make the way plain to us. Thank you for your work in our lives! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
Pray for a man on a ventilator. Pray for a girl who has poison oak.
