It's Day 29 and we're in Mark 9.
An encouragement as you
read the Bible today: in Acts 17:11, it tells of some Christians in Berea who
"received the Word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to
see whether [what we taught was Biblical]."
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verses 43-48 - The point of these verses is not to mutilate yourself, but to do whatever it takes to avoid hell. Do I have that level of concern about hell and the destination of many of my friends?
Help:
- Verse 12 - The "Elijah" figure is John the Baptist.
- Verse 29 - That is, being "prayed up" and having been before the Lord in prayer and therefore being close enough to Him to manifest that kind of power.
- Verses 49-50 - This is obscure. The verse 49 reference probably means that suffering and struggle will come our way. Verse 50 probably means that we need to have the "flavor" of Christ defining our lives.
