Mark 7:36
Jesus didn’t want people to believe in him as the Messiah only because he did miracles. This is an interesting commentary on our thinking today. Those who would discount miracles completely are obviously wrong. However, Christianity is not just about believing in the supernatural. Animists and idolaters of all stripes do that. Christianity is about complete trust in and surrender to the person of Jesus Christ. And Jesus makes that quite plain in his ministry.

Psalm 85:1-89:52

James 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing us to know you in truth and fact. Knowing you experientially is wonderful, but having the truth about you in our hands, that is a great blessing! You have all the records, and you have shared the record of your Son with us. He is not just a miracle worker, but is our true and wonderful friend. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.

Pray for several people with spiritual needs.
