Mark

I recently finished reading the book of Mark last week. One theme really stood out to me through the whole book. Hard Heartedness. The Pharisees and the people were so stupid! They were so wrapped up in themselves they could not see Jesus for who He was! How many times do we get so wrapped up in ourselves that we can't see what God is trying to tell us in our daily lives? I know it happens quite often for me. I would like to say that this is something all of us should pay much more attention to in our lives. Not just self absorbtion, but self reliance. Watch yourselves. You never know when love of self might make you miss what God has to say.

Micah 6:8

He has shown you, o man, what is good and what the Lord requires of you: But to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your Lord.

James 4:7

Humble yourself before God. Resist the Devil and He will flee from you.
