Mark 2:2
The house was jam-packed. There were people outside of the house, standing outside the door. They too wanted to be inside, and were trying to listen to Jesus as he preached. This is how the worship of Christ should be attended. Eagerly, unashamedly, and regardless of the crowds, we should attend to the worship of the Lord just as these came to see him in the house that day.
Bible Reading: Luke 4:1-5:39
Scripture Memory: James 5:11 “Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, may we be ever attentive to you. We have a tendency to hear you when we want to and ignore your Word the rest of the time. We often come to you only when we think we need something. Our ears work only as we want them to. May we be humbled to remember that our ears belong to you. We must put them to work in your service. Though you have given us great freedom through the blood of Christ, it is the freedom to hear that which we could otherwise never hear. You give us the ability to listen to things that will make us better for the hearing. Let us open ourselves as vessels to receive your Word. For you to dump your truth into us is a great blessing! How can we ever thank you enough for the privilege? In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for our missionaries. Pray for preachers this morning.
