Today's meditation is on Mark Chapter 6

I know that sometimes the hardest crowd is in my own hometown among family and friends. They know my past all to well, with all of my failures and mistakes. Often, they will be the first to be offended by my words and the last to believe me.

Even Jesus experienced this, and said that a prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family. Even though he was anointed by God the Father to do good and perform mighty works and miracles, because of their unbelief, he was only able to heal a few sick people. No mighty miracles could be performed. And he was amazed at their unbelief.

From this I understand that unless the Gifts of Healings are in operation, it is only through faith that someone can receive their healing. Even though Jesus said I would do the same works that he did, my faith alone is not enough. No one had greater faith than Jesus. So I do not become discouraged when I lay hands on the sick and they do not recover. I know that is between them and God.

And if I am ridiculed or if I am not welcomed or am treated with disrespect, I do not become offended. I simply shake it off like dust from my feet and go on. Their fate is between them and God.

Just as Jesus sent out his disciples to spread the Good News, cast out demons and heal the sick, as a follower of Christ, I am called to do the same.

At times, life and the cares of this world can get overwhelming. And I need to go off by myself to a quiet place and rest. There, in the presence of God, my needs are met. I am fed supernaturally and my soul finds rest. It is part of my daily routine to get alone by myself and talk to Father God.

No matter what storms I face in life, I am not afraid. I take courage, because I know that Jesus is with me. I keep my mind stayed on him. In him I find perfect peace.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
