5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

2-What did Jesus mean saying "He who has ears to hear, let him hear"?

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Mark 1:1-8

1 This is the beginning of the Good News about Jesus Christ, the Son of God, ² as the prophet Isaiah wrote:

“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
    Who will prepare your way.” Malachi 3:1
³ “This is a voice of one
    Who calls out in the desert:
‘Prepare the way for the Lord.
    Make the road straight for him.’” Isaiah 40:3

⁴ John was baptizing people in the desert and preaching a baptism of changed hearts and lives for the forgiveness of sins. ⁵ All the people from Judea and Jerusalem were going out to him. They confessed their sins and were baptized by him in the Jordan River. ⁶ John wore clothes made from camel’s hair, had a leather belt around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey. ⁷ This is what John preached to the people: “There is one coming after me who is greater than I; I am not good enough even to kneel down and untie his sandals. ⁸ I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

  Father, Your commands do not come with a question mark nor are they intended to provoke debate as to whether we think it in our best interest to follow or reject. Your commands are for our good and your provisions are all that we have need of. Just as you supplied the Israelites manna for food, fire by night, and the cloud by day You lead and provide for us through every season of our life, during the plenty and during the barren times. You are enough for all that we have need of, the greatest need of all being met through Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, who died that we might live forever. Thank You! Amen.

 

I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
