Mark 12-16
“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?” Mark 12:24
Dear God, I am amazed at how You equate knowing the power of God with knowing the scriptures. I find myself in the same situation as I always do and that is my time in Thy word is set aside for other things. Lord, You have done so much for me over the last week and a half. When my car needed repair, not only was it repaired but You provided the knowledge for me to repair it myself and at a cost of only $10.00. Lord, You are so good to me regardless of my unfaithfulness. Help me to break this cycle of inconsistency and to follow Thee with my whole heart.
“And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.” Mark 13:21-23
Dear God, Your disciples were able to know the truth only because of Thy word. Had it not been for Thy warning, they too could have been deceived by a false Christ. Lord, if they could have been deceived, how much more can I be deceived if I am not in Thy word? The time has been long past that I must lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besets me and dedicate myself to the daily study of Thy word.
