Delivered!
Jesus saw that all the people were running there to see what
was happening. So Jesus spoke to the evil spirit. Jesus said,
"You evil spirit that makes this boy deaf and stops him from
talking--I command you to come out of this boy and never
enter him again!" The {evil} spirit screamed. The spirit
caused the boy to fall on the ground again, and then the
spirit came out. The boy looked like he was dead. Many people
said, "He is dead!" But Jesus held the boy's hand and helped
him stand.
-- Mark 9:25-27 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
One of the things I love so much about Jesus is that his miracles were
not about him or for him. He cared about the people he healed. He took
care of their dignity as well as their physical ailment. Jesus healed
the boy before the crowd of onlookers grew too large. When the boy was
healed, he took him by the hand and helped him up. The miracle wasn't
about Jesus' power being displayed to dazzle the crowds. No, the
miracle was about the love and care of God being shown.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Father in heaven, help me treat with dignity and grace all those you
give me the privilege to serve. In Jesus' name. Amen.

VELVET ELVIS: REPAINTING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, by Rob Bell
In this provocative, hopeful book, Bell asks what the church might look
like if today's believers fully embraced "the way" of love, peace,
sharing possessions, compassion, risk, forgiveness, and harmony.
