Today’s reading is Matthew 8.
“When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. And behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to them.””
Matthew 8:1-4 ESV

All,
This stands out because the leper said, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” We all know this disease was a death sentence physically and socially. His situation was hopeless and there was nothing he could do about it. However, he sought Jesus out and asked Him to do the IMPOSSIBLE. Are we asking Jesus to help us with our IMPOSSIBLE situations today? Are we submitting to His Lordship over our lives or do we want Him to heal us, but not be our Lord? Please pray that we and our friends go to Jesus as our Lord today and give Him our concerns. Please pray for the men considering CLC.
