"Then he sent him home and said, "Do not even go into the village." Mark 8:26
Jesus had just healed this man from blindness and tells him not to return to the village, why? When we encounter Jesus does He wants us to return to our old way of life or does He want us to start anew? The man's home offered peace and comfort, what was in the village God did not want Him to view? It is an interesting question and one we can only ponder. In our own lives, God wants us venture out and not return to our old ways, He gives us direction and seeks our obedience even if it means we will leave others behind. In time they will see a new person that Christ has touched.
Dear Lord God, we are walking examples of Your saving power, may You shine through in our lives. May those that know the old me see the new creation you are teaching. May we not be corrupted by the ways of the world, may we spend time with You In familiar ground and learn from You. Prayers for this day Lord, watch over us and keep us free from all danger. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Peace, pray for us.
