1. FOCUS -Before you start reading take a minute and ask God to guide your reading. Ask Him to focus your mind and to show you something in today's passage.
2. FIND -Read the passage. You have asked God to guide your reading, what words, phrases, or truth did He highlight? What stood out? What did you find? Write down the insight down.
3. FOLLOW -Take a moment or two and write out a response to the what God revealed in your reading. Was there an action you need to take? An area of sin you need to confess? Or a promise you should claim? Once you have an action follow through and do it.
Mark 2:13-17The Message (MSG)
13-14 Then Jesus went again to walk alongside the lake. Again a crowd came to him, and he taught them. Strolling along, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, at his work collecting taxes. Jesus said, “Come along with me.” He came.
15-16 Later Jesus and his disciples were at home having supper with a collection of disreputable guests. Unlikely as it seems, more than a few of them had become followers. The religion scholars and Pharisees saw him keeping this kind of company and lit into his disciples: “What kind of example is this, acting cozy with the riffraff?”
17 Jesus, overhearing, shot back, “Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I’m here inviting the sin-sick, not the spiritually-fit.”
