Today’s reading is Mark 5:1-20
“As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him. And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭5:18-20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him.” He was obedient to what Christ told him to do. He was obedient in front of the people that knew him best. We know these can be the most difficult because they know specifically where our failings are and may scoff at our relationship with Jesus. Jesus frees me daily of anxieties that have paralyzed me for a while and I’m constantly amazed. How else could it be happening without Jesus transformative power? Please pray that we and our friends follow God’s nudges today and obey Him. Please pray for Debbie, Makenna and Kole.
