Readings:
Psalm 33:12-22
Proverbs 5:22 - 6:1
NT: Mark 6:7-29
OT: Leviticus 15-16
My Golden Verse: Mark 6:8-13
Accepting
Mark 6:8-13
(8) He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a walking stick--no bread, no wallet for a collection bag, no money in their belts (girdles, purses)--
(9) But to go with sandals on their feet and not to put on two tunics (undergarments).
(10) And He told them, Wherever you go into a house, stay there until you leave that place.
(11) And if any community will not receive and accept and welcome you, and they refuse to listen to you, when you depart, shake off the dust that is on your feet, for a testimony against them. Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the judgment day than for that town.
(12) So they went out and preached that men should repent [ that they should change their minds for the better and heartily amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins].
(13) And they drove out many unclean spirits and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.

Really bringing nothing when you travel? Don't we pay even to pee? Everything has $ terms in this world now. Maybe not in the past. but hey come on They are God's Representatives. No extra pair of underwear at least?
In my country, even the People's Representatives, they always asks for a pay rise ALL THE TIME!
Salesman now, Don't they wear ironed shirts and pants, tie, shiny and glossy leather shoes?
Not even asking for money after sharing the glory of God? Well God, what I hear now is Collection, Collection, and More COLLECTIONS.... Pardon me if this struck any one of you.
It really seemed illogical TODAY and even those days. But hey Didn't God Proved that HIS Glory is among them and they achieved a lot without any equipments.
Think of this, How long do we feel secure without touching our beloved BB, Iphone, Ipad, yada yada yada for even a day? We feel that our life is not full in a day without interaction with those things we carry everywhere. Well Not talking anyone here, I myself am the same. I just felt that something is missing without it. Then my question is
"Do we ever feel that something is missing without God?"
To be honest, I have not touched this Blog of mine for +/- 3 months. I've been skipping my daily prayers (except Emergency prayers). Reflect it to yourself and answer it personally.
God Bless
Taking Action
Show me Lord to have the same faith as Your disciples do.
