SCRIPTURE: Mark (NIV) 8:27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?” 28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” 29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
OBSERVATION: When I walk through my day, it is not enough to know what others think about Jesus. Most important is what I think.
He is Emmanuel, God with us. He is the Christ, the anointed one sent to take away our sins. He is the all-powerful Healer. He is the ever-present Helper. On earth, by His Spirit, He is always with me; in heaven I will always be with Him! It is good to walk with Him here, but it will be much better there!
APPLICATION: My faith to face the issues of my day is determined by my thoughts about Jesus. I must believe that he is with ME. I must believe that he is able to overcome MY challenges. And, I must believe that he is willing to help ME.
PRAYER: Lord, The more I know you, the more I believe that you are both able and willing to help me. Help me keep my eyes focused on you. Amen
