Today I was studying the book of Mark. Chapters 5 & 6 to be exact. One word that keeps standing out to me is compassion. Particularly when Jesus saw a crowd and "had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. I would really like to have that kind of compassion for people. That has always been my weakness.
I am also reading Daniel 1 & 3 every day this week in preparation for speaking at the Red Mountain Youth camp on June 14. The faith that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego showed was amazing. They told King Nebuchaneezer that if he threw them into the blazing furnace, their God would save but even if he didn't they still would not bow down to his idols. What an amazing faith. Even if God does not answer my prayers, I will have the faith to follow Him anyway!
Kev, I will really enjoy reading your thoughts. It think God is doing such a great work in your life and it will be neat to listewn as He continues to.
