Luke 4:38-44
After Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and waited on them.
At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. He laid his hands on each of them and cured them. And demons also came out from many, shouting, "You are the Son of God." But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak because they knew that he was the Christ.
At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place. The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him, they tried to prevent him from leaving them. But he said to them, "To the other towns also I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God, because for this purpose I have been sent." And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for those affected by the storms Gustav and Hanna.
When I was a child I used to think that God watched everything that I did and was waiting for me to do something wrong.
At times I carry this same thought in my head. It's a thought that doesn't bring to mind the freedom that God wants us to live in. It's a thought that seems far from what Jesus does and says in today's reading.
I know I need to trust in His mercy more, and I pray that I'll never be content with trusting to Him what is "safe" for me to submit. I pray that you never grow content with that as well.
Take care and God Bless.
