Monday -Mark 3:7-12

Mark 3:7-12The Message (MSG)

7-10 Jesus went off with his disciples to the sea to get away. But a huge crowd from Galilee trailed after them—also from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, across the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon—swarms of people who had heard the reports and had come to see for themselves. He told his disciples to get a boat ready so he wouldn’t be trampled by the crowd. He had healed many people, and now everyone who had something wrong was pushing and shoving to get near and touch him.

11-12 Evil spirits, when they recognized him, fell down and cried out, “You are the Son of God!” But Jesus would have none of it. He shut them up, forbidding them to identify him in public.

As you read, remember to:

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.
