Please read Luke 8:1-3, Mark 3:20-20, Matthew 12:22-45, Mark 3:31-35, Matthew 12:46-50, Luke 8:19-21, Mark 4:1-9, Matthew 13:1-9, Luke 8:4-8, and Mark 10-20. What’s your highlight today? Come on back and share your thoughts!
It was a lot of reading today. The past few days, I’ve been a little long-winded myself 🙂 I’ll make it short today – though it was very difficult! Did you want to soak everything in, highlight every word like I did? Here’s a short one:
“Are you listening to this? Really listening?” Matthew 13:9 MSG
The NKJV translates Jesus saying it this way: “He who has ears, let him hear”. If you can listen, listen! Beyond listening, obey!
Don’t make this complicated – it may not be easy, but it is pretty simple!
I am amazed how during this time he was saving and healing folks only to be told he himself is a demon. If I see someone robbing someone I can see a demon streak in you. There should have been much common sense put into what he was doing but if hatred resides in your heart you won’t see good in anyone or anything. Sad…..
But on a good take-a-way, I have ears and I listen to what Jesus is explaining on today’s reading. I hope to prosper with my family and church. Amen for good fertile soil!
