Scripture:  Mark (NIV) 16:20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

Observation:   The life and ministry of Jesus was confirmed by His works—by the miracles and healings.  As Mark ends his epistle, we see that Jesus confirmed the message of His disciples in the same manner.  A read through the book of Acts verifies this.  Jesus continued His ministry through His disciples.

Application:   If Jesus confirmed His word by healings and miracles…if He confirmed the words of His first disciples in the same way…then I should expect Him to do the same today.

Prayer:   Lord, let Your Word to flow through me unhindered.  Then increase my faith to see Your confirmation of Your Word. Amen
