Mark 1:38 "And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth." Many times we can confuse complacency with contentment or familiarity with faithfulness. It is true that we are all called to be content with God's will and many times are blessed with a certain level of familiarity in our life. Yet when it comes to seeking to reach the lost we should always be open and ready to step out of our comfort zone. . After spending time in prayer Jesus is ready to "move on" to spread the good news of the gospel. Today, let us with purpose and persistence seek to connect with those who need Christ. Others will not be reached by accident. Pray that God will open the door for you to share Christ. And when he does, go for it!

II Kings 5:13-14 “ And his (Naaman)servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? Then went he (Naaman) down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” Naaman was a leader who at the height of his power became a leper. Through the providence of God he comes to the prophet Elisha who told him to go dip seven times in the river Jordan. Naaman responded by getting angry and refusing to obey. Yet in our text he is convinced to conform. What does Naaman discover? The power of obedience! Life is complicated in its demands and outcomes. Because of this we all are always in need of the power of God that comes to the life of those that obey His commands. Today, let us follow Naaman’s example. Whatever God calls us to do today, regardless of how we feel or think, just do it. Let this be a day that we experience the full power of complete obedience!

I Kings 3:9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? Solomon, the son of grace, is now the King of Israel. King David has died and the throne of Solomon has been established. God asks Solomon what he wants and he responded with one request. Make me wise. Wisdom is not simply choosing right over wrong. Wisdom is choosing the best means to the best end. Let us spend time asking God to make us wise. (James 1:5) Ask for wisdom concerning what should and should not be done. Today let us let flee to our knees in prayer asking God for the wisdom to know what, how, and when to do what is best!
