This morning’s Bible reading provided yet another wonderful time with God. Here is one small part:
First of all, it is incredible that we can actually talk with God himself – the creator, omnipotent, eternal, King of kings, Lord of lords, who was and is and always will be – and that he will listen. It is an amazing thing that, in his mercy, God will let us approach him and come into his presence. Thank you, Lord, for your mercy, your grace, and your great love!
Now the Bible reading:
Mark 1: 40-42
And there came a leper to him (Jesus), beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, ‘If you will, you can make me clean.’ And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and said to him, ‘I will; be clean.’ And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
When we come to Jesus, as the leper did in this account, with a meek and humble heart, he will hear us. And as in the case of this leper, Jesus – moved with compassion – can touch us and immediately intervene in the situation in which we approach him.
Whatever it is you may need to experience true freedom, Jesus can touch your life and set you free!
I hope you will spend time with God today – in his Word, in his presence – and let him touch you as only he can.
Read it for yourself.
