Reading: Mark 3, 2 Kings 14 and 2 Chronicles 25
Scripture: Mark 3:2, And they watched Jesus, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him.
Observation: When reading the Gospels I know I have a tendency to focus on the red letters (the words of Jesus), so many times I would just not listen the context and what is going on. In one of the gospels it said “Jesus went to the synagogue as was his custom”, that means he had a happy of going to church.
Application: So when it said they (the pharisees) watched him, they knew his habit of going to church and teaching. I feel this need too be a reminder to us that the critics of Christianity today are watching us looking for times to say look how these people not live up to their religion. When we are at work or out and about doing life we need to shine God’s love though us, in John 13:35 it says that they will know us by our love. Because the world is watching us and wanting to see how we react when things go wrong, Therefore we need to show them and not just hide our faith or confine it to church service.
Prayer: Father, I thank you so much for the provision that you pour out on us and the blessings that you have for us each and every day. I also thank you for giving us a reason to have true joy in you and share that with outers. Help us to shine your light each day in this dark world.
