November 04, 2019: SOAP #3623:  Job 26-27; Mark 15-16

Scripture:  Mark (NIV) 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. …
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 Lord’s command was for them to go into all the world and preach the good news, BUT it was not God’s plan for them to go alone.  The book of Acts tells us that they were to wait in Jerusalem for the arrival of the Holy Spirit, and then move out into the world.  Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit they carried the gospel as instructed and found that the “Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs.”

Application:  God never sends me to go on my own or work on my own.  Through the presence and work of the Holy Spirit, He goes with me and works through me.

Prayer:  Jesus, you are my only hope of salvation.  Holy Spirit, you are my only hope of fulfilling God’s will.  Mold me, fill me, and use me for your glory! Amen
