Changing Regions
Then Jesus went in a boat with his followers to the area of
Dalmanutha.
-- Mark 8:10 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Sometimes God's truths need to be heard with finality and without a lot
of discussion. The power of the simple truth takes time to be absorbed.
The starkness or challenge of the truth sometimes needs to be left in
the hands of the hearers and the messenger needs to move on to the next
group of people who need God's truth, grace, and hope. May God give us
the wisdom to know when to stay and when to go. May God's grace give us
the love to stay in tough circumstances when it is his will and the
courage to leave when we need to move on to other places. May the
Father give us the courage to leave and allow time for the Word to
convict and germinate in the hearts of men and women who are not ready
to respond immediately.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father in heaven, I cannot read the hearts of people very well. I know
that you know them. I know that you know what is best for them at any
given moment. Please, dear Father, help me to know when to move on to
other people and other fields of service that are ready for truth,
love, and grace. However, dear Father, help me know when to stay and
keep loving and serving people as well. Please give me this wisdom in
Jesus' name. Amen.
