Episode 194: Mark 2

Today's meditation is on Mark Chapter 2

When Jesus walked this earth, people crowded around him to hear him speak. Over and over, when the sick were healed, he said it was because of their faith. 

So I work to develop my faith by studying the life and works of Jesus. I study, and read, and hear the Word, because I know that is how faith comes. I want the kind of faith that will tear off a roof to receive the promise. 

Even today, miracles are performed. And I shout and sing praises to God. My sins have been forgiven. It was as though I was lame, but can now follow Jesus on the path that he has walked before me. 

Just as healthy people don't need a doctor, but those who are sick, he came not for those who think they are righteous, but for people just like me who are in need of a savior.

He came not to patch me up, but to re-create me from the inside out. Rather than pour the Holy Spirit out on me before I was ready, he renewed my soul first. Only then could I receive the infilling of the new wine of the Holy Spirit. 

He meets my every need. Even the Sabbath was made to meet my needs. I was not made for the Sabbath. Father God demonstrated the need to rest from my work by resting from his on the seventh day after he had created the earth and everything in it. The Sabbath was made for me as a day of physical and spiritual renewal. It is a day when I can rest in him, and in the surety of his promise. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
