Don't miss the daily Psalms this week. Psalms are such a beautiful illustration of prayer. Praying as you begin your study time is a small but very important detail.
When I read the passage from Mark 1 today, I noticed that the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tested. This is interesting and encouraging. In a time of testing or trial, we can be assured that God allowed this situation to come our direction, and He will strengthen us to endure. Don't be overwhelmed by the enemy--cling to your Savior.
Mark captured the snapshot of Jesus . . . just being himself . . . like the people of Judah . . . coming to repentance and responding to John's preaching . . . it moves me that Jesus modeled how simple it is to obey in the little things.
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting! I love the book of Mark. I love the glimpses of Jesus living on earth.
