60IN60 Day 5 - Fri Mar 8

It's Day 5 and we're in Luke 5.

Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 5 - Sometimes we obey not fully understanding why we're being asked to do that particular thing.  We just trust Him.

Help:
- Verse 17 - The second half of this verse can be confusing.  Other passages tell us that Jesus' power came through the Father working in Him.  Apparently when there was a lack of faith on the part of the people, the Father limited the power that would flow.
- Verses 27-28 - Levi had met Jesus before.
- Verse 36-38 - Jesus is saying that He hasn't come to repair the old way (i.e. the Temple system), but to bring a new way.
- Verse 39 - This verse points out that most of us find it hard to reach out for the new, preferring instead the comfort of the old.

60IN60 Day 4 - Thurs Mar 7

It's Day 4 and we're in Luke 4.

Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verses 18-19 - This is His mission statement.  Its focus is on the hurting and the weak.

Help:
- Verse 2 - This was apparently a supernaturally-empowered fast, because you normally can't go that long without food.
- Verse 22 - Apparently Jesus didn't show signs earlier in His life of someone who would obviously go on to be a leader like this.
- Verses 23-30 - They get angry because He basically says that God would rather work through foreigners than through them.
