Matthew 8: 28-34
When Jesus came to the territory of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs who were coming from the tombs met him. They were so savage that no one could travel by that road. They cried out, "What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?" Some distance away a herd of many swine was feeding. The demons pleaded with him, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of swine." And he said to them, "Go then!" They came out and entered the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea where they drowned. The swineherds ran away, and when they came to the town they reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs. Thereupon the whole town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to leave their district.
Dawg's Thought:
Today's prayer intention - for strength for those who are persecuted for their Christian faith.
Lord, You desire us to be free.
Totally free.
You freed two at the cost of being accepted.
Lord, help me desire to be truly free
even if it costs me the desire of being popular.
Lord, help me to turn my life completely over to You
even if it costs me comfort.
You freed two
knowing the hearts of those in the town
who were free to choose to believe.
To believe in You will cost me something,
but being totally free through You is so much more
than being popular.
Take care and God Bless.
