SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Mark 2:1-12
2 A
few days later, when Jesus came back to Capernaum, the news spread that he was
at home. 2 Many people gathered together so that there was no room
in the house, not even outside the door. And Jesus was teaching them God’s
message. 3 Four people came, carrying a paralyzed man. 4 Since they
could not get to Jesus because of the crowd, they dug a hole in the roof right
above where he was speaking. When they got through, they lowered the mat with
the paralyzed man on it. 5 When Jesus saw the faith of these people, he said to the
paralyzed man, “Young man, your sins are
forgiven.”
6 Some
of the teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,
7 “Why does this man say things like that? He is speaking
as if he were God. Only God can forgive sins.”
8 Jesus knew immediately what these teachers of the law were thinking. So he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to tell this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to tell him, ‘Stand up. Take your mat and walk’? 10 But I will prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So Jesus said to the paralyzed man, 11 “I tell you, stand up, take your mat, and go home.” 12 Immediately the paralyzed man stood up, took his mat, and walked out while everyone was watching him.
The people were amazed and praised God. They said, “We have never seen anything like this!”

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Jesus, would You help me to be quick to recognize and
respond to Your promptings. Often You speak to me through Scripture, daily
prayer, and other believers. You also speak to me through the undesirable
consequences that come from acts of disobedience. May I see Your cautions and
“stops” as part of Your loving way of keeping me from danger and redirecting me
to that which will be of blessing in my life and to those around me. Amen.THURSDAY-MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
