| FEAR OF CHANGE!!! |
|
| |
Some people were there and saw what Jesus did. These people
told the other people what happened to the man that had the
demons living in him. And they also told about the pigs. Then
the people began to beg Jesus to leave their area.
-- Mark 5:16-17 (ERV)
Most folks are afraid of change and anyone who has the power to change
them. Because the crowd couldn't explain how Jesus had power over the
man possessed by a legion of demons, they were afraid and they asked
him to leave. Unfortunately, we often do the same thing. Not so much by
overtly saying to Jesus, "Please leave me alone." No, we do it by
ignoring his presence, staying away from his Word, and associating with
people who help drown out the voice of Jesus in our hearts. Please,
don't turn Jesus away. Don't ask him to leave. Draw near to him. Seek
him. Follow him. And anticipate what he can do in your life!
PRAYER:
Sovereign God of all creation, please make me more aware of the
nearness of Jesus. Help me to see the changes he is making in my heart
and in my life each day. I ask this in his name, Jesus Christ. Amen.
