1. Before today, how familiar were you with the full gospel story? Were there parts you would emphasise more on, and parts you would emphasise less on?

2. Gratitude is our rightful response. What are some things that could get in the way of us being grateful to God for what He has done for us?

1. i think before today it was a lot about just sharing to people of what I know about God but now I know some of the different part and go into detail of what sharing the gospel really is. I think generally is around the same is just that I never went in so deep before. I think I would emphasise on the 3rd part more as I believe this is like one of the main reasons why we all choose to follow Jesus and like why we decided to take this step into this relationship. He paid all the debt that we owed on the cross and yet we were still sinners. The love he has for all of us is truly immeasurable and is something that I strive for when around the people that God has placed in my life.

1. I think some of the things would be like my sins in my daily life, I can be when lose my Christlikeness self to fit into what life is like without God or when I have thoughts of others that are just ugly in God’s eyes. These things in general are some of the ways that the Satan is distracting and hindering us away from God. Yes it can be human nature but isit always that? I believe there is something more power that is always with us but I also believe that God is here and he will provide and protect as WE his people also run towards him with open arms!

1. On a scale of 1-10, how desperate are you for God? Why this number?

2. What is one need you have that only God can fully meet?

1. I think it’s a solid 8. I think I chose this number because I will always fall short for the glory of God. As much as I would like to say 10 or I would want to proclaim 10, I see myself answering this with all honesty and I’m quite taken aback and sad by the number. Praying for a deeper relationship and understanding for God’s word as I go into repentance and accept God’s word into my heart, as I soften my heart and open it for him!

2. I think something God can truly meet would be when in times I feel empty or just simply lost. I would always come back to that one thing that has stayed with me through my hardships and sorrows and that is God. I think God’s mercy, grace and love is just something so unexplainable and we are so lucky to have him in our lives! I believe that God is always ready to accept all my flaws and sins with open arms as I repent and go to him with all that I am.

Matthew 22,23,24

Through reading these chapters, I saw how Jesus took many opportunities to teach the lost and he also said to the hypocrites “shame on you” for they are disobeying the God and the messiah. Through these chapters there were many teachings and all were compiled to this 3 chapters. Things like how The end times will look like and how Jesus will come down with the heavenly clouds along with his angels. For all the people who believes in him will be frightened and will be taken to the Heavenly Father. So thankful to be living in a country where Christianity can be practiced and is accepted. It’s true that in the Bible it says

““Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,”

Really shows how people are so so broken and lost in this world. For those who seek him will be slaughtered and those who don’t, gets to live. At the end of the road, seek him for he will also be waiting and seeking us.

Matthew 19,20,21

Parables of the workers in vineyard.

The parable has often been interpreted to mean that even those who are converted late in life earn equal rewards along with those converted early, and also that people who convert early in life need not feel jealous of those later converts.

“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

““Which of the two did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.”

I think after reading today’s qt. I was really taken aback by what God is trying to teach me today. Because I had been thinking about like the path of everybody’s life. What I mean by this is like those who knew Jesus at an early age and those who don’t. Those we know Jesus at the end of their lives get the same praises and rewards as those who converted earlier in their lives. This question was finally answered. I was thinking to myself the past few months and was feeling uneasy to the fact that “it is unfair” and I knew smth was wrong already but today I had my answer and I’m so satisfied 🙏🏻 praying for God to warm and soften my heart for the people who has yet know him and share the things that the Lord has prepared for them EVEN at their last days.

Matthew 16,17,18

““This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.””
‭the last verse from this 3 chapters is what that really spoke to me. Think I was really reminded of how the life out of not knowing god will look like ( hope I phrased it right LOL ) from time to time I reflect and thank god for giving me the opportunity to KNOW him as it really is a privilege to KNOW him and to be able to SEEK him. Nth can express how much I truly love him and the joy he gives to everybody. Through the sorrows and sadness, through the many hard times we face, he is still there :”) through the many times we say we aren’t able to do it, he is still there and he will always be. God will always provide no matter the circumstance we are in. Very practical things to understand but if you take it to heart you’ll be able to see the love that he has for us :”)

Matthew 13,14,15

Think the parables was something that was taught me when at a young age and I would always been in awe of the stories that my Sunday school teacher or my dad would tell me. It has always been a joy to be able to hear the stories the Jesus is telling and also hear and read about the powers and miracles that Jesus had done.

Think through reading today’s qt I was reminded of how God is good and will forever remain in me. Oso I just learned that there are two stories of Jesus feeding the crowd. I thought there was only 1 HHAHAH but guess what

““We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14:17‬ ‭NIV

““How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭15:34‬ ‭NIV

Was really shocked LOL. Sign to read the Bible. But yea think today’s one was really one that speaks to me through the nostalgic story telling and reading and
falling into his presence again with joy and peace.

Matthew 10,11,12

Think 10:22 was smth that I really took to heart “You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”
‭‭yea I think it speaks a lot on how we live our lives and whether or not we live a life where we are seen to be different from the world. Are we standing firm in our beliefs in our Heavenly Father or are we just living a 50/50 life where when we are with church friends we act like a Christian and when we are out we behave like we don’t know who God is. Was really reminded of how I would normally live my life and obviously, there were some points where I have to improve on like the way I think of others and the sinful gossiping thoughts that enter my mind. I have to put these thoughts away and realise that I am no different from them and empathise with them instead of correcting them and saying out their faults.
Like what it says in Matthew 7:3-5 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

So touched by God’s love in my life

Matthew 7,8,9

In this 3 chapters, it talks about how we shouldn’t judge others, asking, seeking and knocking, true and false prophets, true and false disciples, the wise and foolish builders, Jesus healing a man with leprosy, the faith of centurion, Jesus healing many, the cost of following Jesus, Jesus calming the storm, Jesus restoring 2 demon-possessed man, Jesus forgiving and healing a paralysed man, the calling of Matthew, Jesus getting questioned on fasting, Jesus raises a dead girl and heals a sick woman, Jesus healing the blind and the mute, how the workers are few.

We can really back take a lot of lessons with just this 3 chapters and it really reminded me on some of the things I need to take note of when I go through my life. Can be things that does not pleases him when I live my life or things that are just simply indulging in sin. I think as I read through today’s qt I can truthfully say that I have not done my part of being an embodiment for others as a Christian. I still have areas in my life where I have to work on and I have to continue persevering and striving for Christlikeness and live in his light.

Sheeeesh dont even know where to start. Think entering into DOHP, was excited but at the same time didnt wna be distracted by the vibe etc, and when we entered the church, it was honestly such an amazing and homely feeling. if you went to other prayermeets organised by love Singapore before like in stadium and all, you would know what im saying. Not everyone sees the importance in praying over SG and her government, but now more than ever, this is when prayer is needed the most as well, with more threats to our faith arising and questions that push the boundaries of what is right and what is not. The law in Singapore is what kept us safe these many years, and no doubt i believe this is all part of Gods divine plan, that if we are indeed called to be the antioch of antiochs, then God is ineed blessing our government. there is a rising commotion about 377A and what will happen if it were to be legalised and honeslty HAHA idk, but entering DOHP that day, was so moved by the worship and seeing the hearts of different generations come to live and praying under the same roof, there were kids, teens, youth, adults, elderly, and seeing the elderly pray that day made me realise that their generation was the one praying over our nation, our government, our situations, the state of the church ect, and now its been passed on to the next gen and the gen aft that to carry this heart posture and imp of prayer over the country. during DOHP they also mentioned about missions and evangelism, how the numbers have dropped since covid, and a revival for the hearts of christians to come back and unds that everyone is called to do missions and evangelize, to have a revival in this area, no matter the age. realised from there as well that revival starts with me, it starts with my heart cry and what i bring to God, and what i decide to do after that.

Day 1

Through this, i learnt take God’s plan is not just a huge goal that you have to hit by a certain time but it’s a step by step process which might seem frustrating but it’s something that God want’s us to lean to His understanding. I didn’t really take much away but it’s something that i want to continue to do to kick start my self-reflection again.

# data[].attributes.subject
Discernment (Proverbs 1:7, Ephesians 5:6-10, 1 John 4:1)

# data[].attributes.body
was asking myself and doing some reflection on discernment and how i can better discern when situations arise etc. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge" the quest for wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord. knowledge and wisdom are quite closely tied together in the book of proverbs and i think both are key areas in how we can practice discernment. knowledge tends to focus on correct understanding of the world, word and oneself while wisdom is the acquired skill and how we choose to apply that knowledge in the right way. Ephesians 5:6-10 also talks about what we should be aware of, that "for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord" think its q practical as the verse is telling us to avoid joining in sin and how we can follow the path of light that leads to God instead of following after the darkness, that we now have an option. this verse teaches us how to apply the principles in which the bible has taught us and in a way to see if the judgments we have made are fair, thought through, discerning etc. and the last verse which i found really spoke alot was 1 John 4:1 which was also a verse the grow class abt prophecy touched on. That we have to beware of false prophets who claim to speak the truth/ word of God but are in fact influenced by the devil. that especially in todays world we have to be even more discerning because what we think may be right can actually be influenced into the wrong action/ choice. that our actions and decisions made that guide us to where we are can also be "tested" by observing our doctrine, conduct and spiritual discernment. and i think one of the only ways we can actually tell and be aware of false prophets and influence is only when we are close to God, close to scripture, close to the spirit, close to his word. then we can be more aware and discerning, speaking and discerning out of what the spirit has imparted to us. But when we are far from God at that particular season, it may not be best to be the one making decisions, we may not be as discerning as we can fall to our own emotions, feelings and thoughts in our head. Thus to practice discernment is to be close with God and be award of the few things mentioned. sheeeeesh

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world" ngl this is like the most common verse ik that talks about peace and honestly it covers alot of things. also got reminded of the song PEACE by hillsong. God did not promise us an easy going life, one filled w sunshine and rainbow but one with trials and tribulations, times where we will be tested and at often times, see the ugliness of the world but the verse says "take heart; i have overcome the world" an assurance that God has it all planned out and a promise of his peace unto us as well, thus "you are peace to a restless soul, Peace when my thoughts wage war, Peace to the anxious heart, Thats who you are, Thats who you are" i will be still in knowing the God i place my trust in and remain rest assured knowing that he keeps his promises, that in moments of chaos, i can still praise God because i am assured that there would be a peace and joy that overwhelms my heart, one that transcends all understanding. The prayer i make today would be to cling on to Gods word of truth and to come to a place of actually understanding what "I have overcome the world" means, that if God has overcome the world, it also means my battles have been won, I can already proclaim victory over things I'm going through.

Matthew:1-3

Embarking on a new book of Matthew this season and as I go in, think I was reminded of how Jesus the Messiah was brought unto earth through the Holy Spirit and through Mary. Initially, this was just a event that I thought “aiya everybody know already lah” but as I read, it tells a lot more about the happenings that were occurring when Jesus was born. Like how the Herod Magi, was sending out his people to lookout what star was that shining so brightly above and they know that was Jesus who was on a hay.

smth funny that happened jn was i was at the mrt, and i farted super loudly, so my first instinct was to turn around and check if got ppl around, and to my shock, it was completely empty HAHAH so rly thank God. oks but jokes aside, thanksgiving is smth i focused on this week that was being shared to the LG as well, but was cut off. Honestly there are alot of times where we dont give thanks and is only natural when good things happen to us, and we see that as a blessing and we give thanks to God, but at many times we are clouded my emotions and feelings and its hard to give thanks in seasons its not the best, but realise i shouldnt be looking at it that way but in every season and day i give thanks and theres alw sm more we are blessed with. trying to cultivate the habit of thanks giving, to come to a place of gratitude and start counting my blessings

Philippians 4:4, Psalms 94:19, Philippians 4:7

These verses really stood out to me and help me to really focus on rejoicing even when things don’t go my way. To find peace and Joy in the midst of my struggles and to go about my life with God and have 0 worries. Obviously this is not something we can just accomplish in a day but i think what really matters is the journey of me bringing myself to God’s work and his love for me, then will I only see God’s goodness and there I’ll truly learn to seek him whole heartedly and rejoice in him in my highs and lows!!

Anxiety has no use other than prompting us to pray to You and praise You for all You've done, are doing, and will do in our lives.

Psalms 55:22, 1 Peter 5:7, Philippians 4:6

missed out yst but will do 2 today so no worries!! I think these verses really spoke to me this season. About just letting go and let God do. Casting all my worries and anxieties to him. I would be a fool if I think I could go through my struggles and hardships alone and with my own strength. God really does make a Wah for us and it is so evident, through all the highs and lows we could see how God was there each season and how he still manages to make a big impact in each circumstances of my life.
Really wanna take up the “Let God do but also Do it with him” mentally and persevere through my sch life or whatever hardships I face in the future!

1 Chronicles 27-19

These chapters concluded David as king and the rising of king Solomon. What captured my attention was how king David said in his last sentance “ everything is from you” it shows how he captured that everything that he had and everything that he had own is from God himself. As I reflect and meditate on this, i felt that some times I acknowledge this, even heard this many times before but I refuse to let go of certain situations because I like the feeling of knowing and planning out my life events. I like the feeling of knowing when and at what age I want to achieve so that when someone asks me about what is my life goal and at what age I want this and that, I have an answer for it. It shows how sinful self-independence is and how much I am a sinner, nothing wrong with having life goals for yourself but when God ask you to let go of it, am I willing to? It’s something I need to surrender to him over again because He has something much better than mine and I got to trust and have faith in Him

its q an old hillsong song, i rmrb alw singing and listening to it every week while going to new york back when i was in US. this song till today instils a certain peace in my heart, what does it mean to love from the inside out? more than our outward actions, more than the physical things we give and do for God, but to first love God wholeheartedly from the inside, like the song says "in my heart and my soul, i give you control" to allow God to consume us and break us first. this song reminds me to alw pour out to God from my heart, a reminder of what God has promised, and thus i can worship as well. "your will above all else, my purpose remains, the art of losing myself, in bringing you praise" sm assurance this song brings, that as we love and pour out from the inside out, God sees our heart, he honours it. esp when the songs uses words like "everlasting, never ending, glory goes beyond all fame"

was otw to school today and suddenly got reminded of my water baptism, so i went to my ig archives and went to that faithful day HAHAH 29 April 2022, a life changing decision that impacted the way i live for christ for the remainder of my days, but the question in my head was if i have been living that way and upholding the name Samuel. took some time to reflect and ngl not alot of the decisions i made were reflective of Samuel. think being in this season and heading to the next, wna head in w more awareness of what the cross has done for me and what water bapt symbolises, to think through certain decisions i make, for missions, mentees, LG, ministry and so on. not just making decisions and living like samuel, but the habits he cultivated, his values, his heart and willingness.

no particular verse today but was reminded of our stubborn nature at times and how when we decide to commit to a certain thing, we go back on our word and make excuses for ourselves. HAHA may be weird but was seen thru my stomach pain, i was tryna shit and there was q alot of free time and i realised the unhealthy decisions i took at that period of time, still choosing to eat like fried food etc, and not taking care of my body, falling into temptation of delicious food. and got reminded how i live my own spiritual life, that ik this is not what im supp to do but i still fall into temptations and choose ungodly things, that when i make a promise to God, often times i only mouth out the words "i surrender," but in my heart, i still choose to live that same unhealthy lifestyle as if nothing ever happened. and with that kind of response, I suffer the consequences as well, and it shows the flaws and areas of improvement in my life. taking this season to really go through with what I commit to do and what I commit to God

Isaiah 55:8-9, Matthew 6:26-30

God is so grateful to us. Through many highs and lows and all the things he has put us through. I rejoice in songs of praise and give thanks for his providence in my life. I think whilst doing today’s qt, I saw this sentence “worry is the result of not trusting God.” and I can see how it really questions my level of faith on God. I can see myself building up my faithfulness through every step of the way with him and how he is still faithful to me. Praying for a constant and consistent heart that is aligns to God’s one and also praying for myself that I’ll do the things in school that glorifies him and that I’ll be the salt and the light for his people.

was just catching up on the class on prophecy and this was one of the verses they mentioned. took some time to meditate and reflect on it and think. verse says "the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort" reminded me of how prophecy isnt nearly just telling the future, or a hope for the future, but a sign of strength and comfort imparted and inspired by the spirit as well. Prophecy and prophets may not as be relevant as it is today compared to those in the bible, but God still uses us to help build the church and edify his name.

Philippians 4:6 & James 1:2

Think for this week’s devotions, I’m a little more focused on covering my anxieties in my life with Prayer and Faith. I had a long talk with my dad yesterday about the church I’m in now and how it was impacting me. He questioned on my leadership here in this place and how is god moving in me through Hope. I really had to think through with all the questions he hit me with but I couldn’t say anything because he was also like half scolding me so I was quite bummed out about it and it really brought my whole mood down throughout today. After today’s devotions, was really reminded of God’s love and how he is in control even when I doubt my walk with him and how I’m being moved by him. Through him, I will be set free.

1 Chronicles 25-26

Didn’t really learn much from it but through this chapters I saw how God used men powerfully despite the brokenness within them. I think it just shows how much God can use one for His kingdom and furthermore even being faithful with them. This also showed the sinfulness of Men where God has to distant Himself before Jesus died on the cross and it often depicts God as very harsh and yet very angered God. I think that I need to take sin more seriously as this is a reminder for me that sin hurt Him and I have to turn away from it.

I think this chapter is telling me to walk on the right path that leads to God, even if there are some problems,  I should still follow the right paths and not others.

2 Kings 25

As this chapter comes to end, isreal was really in it’s worse shape that it could be and it seems like it has not hope for an revival of God’s people. I think i saw certain parts of my life as unchangable because it’s really to the point of no return as it is hard to either turn or trust in Him, but one thing that i was reminded is God is working. He is moving and planning it out perfectly for us and there is nothing God cannot do and He is laying a path for me to walk on. For that, I really want to thank Him and His plans for me because i couldn’t be where i am if not for Him. To the places i find it hopeless to change, i think something that i want to do is to actively surrender to Him daily and never underestimate what He can do in my life

2 King 24

All of the kings that reign Isreal left a legacy behind. Most where sinning against God and only a handful of kings actually obeyed an turn to God. I think one thing that i questioned myself is what legacy do i want to leave behind when i move on? It’s not just about how well i lead but rather did i fulfill my role as an leader faithfully that is honouring to God. I think truth to be told there are time where we fall and trip; mistakes where made and even stuff they we should have done but did not do. I was reminded that God entrusted me to take care of His flock and he is molding me in the process. Though uncertain, i want to trust more in Him by walking forward knowing that he will meet my needs and provide me with the stuff that benefits me

Mark 3:35
This verse spoke to me when Jesus said that whoever does God’s will is his family. To me this really shows that he is trying to connect to us and befriend us. And that he is not trying to rule us and make us obey him but simply getting close to us so we can trust him.

2 Kings 23

When i read this chapter, a question was popped in my head “Do i renew my covenant woth God everyday and turn to Him?” I think my answer for this will be a no. There are times where i sought after the worldly things and there are also time where i faced God and start to run back to Him; it was more of sitting on the fence type of thing. This chapter is a strong reminder that covenant with God renews daily and not just a one time thing because by doing so, It will help you to set the day right with Him.

2 Kings 22

I didn’t really learned much from this chapter, it was talking about how King Josiah wept in God’s presence and He promised to gather king Josiah to be with his ancestors in peace so that he would not see Isreal’s disasters.

Recently I’m reading a book about Identity, I really learn a lot and also trying to make sense of who I am in God and it really helped me to understand God Himself and even what does it mean to seek spiritual desires. Certain things that I’ve learned and was quite convicted about is how I am so unworthy and ugly in the inner part of myself. I didn’t really saw this as a huge deal at first because of how as a person, I need to be strong and not to think of those things because one needs to be strong in order for achieve your goals. I was quite blinded by what the world tells me and it seems sensible to me, rather than just doing that, I think that God is helping me to rediscover myself in Him and bringing me a journey of uncertainty where things are stripped away again and have to relearn about how unworthy I am and also how blessed I am to even have the relationship with God because of sin in my life.

2 kings 21

This passage was talkign about how the past king and those who have succeeded as king of isreal follow the footsteps of the other kings, which is worshipping idols and did sinful stuff. What amazes me was how God still cares even when he was angry with the kings. This eventually led to isreal’s downfall where God eventually did something to isrealite. I think relating this in my life, i felt that i’m really the worse person that God could ever love, i saw how ugly i am; i’m clumsy, prideful and even stubborn. But God still loves me and still journeying with me and for that i’m really greatful because God is always faithful to me. I really saw how i grew a lot in christ even though i felt that i was very slow in the process. But j think that God still have a plan for me even though i felt unworthy of his presence at times

# data[].attributes.body
I didn’t really take much from this but i realised how God loves them in the Old Testament. I saw how God gave sign and wonders to show the people that he still cares and loves them. More specifically, the one where God showed isaiah the shadow and move that shadow ten steps back, this was an act that he still cares and loves the people. For me, i think there are so many times where i felt God’s presence is small and whenever i need to go to Him i can go, but i think i should really start this habit of connecting to Him regularly again not just church time but also in my personal walk with God because ultimately this love was paid in full for me and what i should do it to really love Him back by spending more time with Him

I think i was reminded of how Powerful and big God is. This chapter specifically mentioned how God said he didn’t allow this king to enter the land and the next say he was defeated and was killed by people. In my life, if God can say that and the next thing the king was dead, what’s more in my life if God says certain stuff in my life that can or cannot do? God is that powerful and that big; it is bigger than i though He was. I think that when ever i do thing for God, i shouldn’t limit myself but to believe that God can do it and God will make it happen at his own time(things that benefit ne in my walk with God)

This chapter was about Paul going through Macedonia and Greece, where he spreader the word of God, baptised people in the holy spirit, raised a dead man and  said farewell to the elders of the church. One thing which I noticed was that Paul suffered a lot in this verse, and in his farewell, he specifically warns others of the things that the world would do to stop the word from being spread. Another thing I noticed was how God was behind and with him through it all, and how powerful he was. Through the Lord's power he raised a dead man and baptised people in the holy spirit, which showed me how good and strong our God is. I think that one thing I learned from this passage is that reaching out to other people is not going to be easy, but the reward and strength of the Lord will prevail through our hardships and times of suffering. Paul suffered immensely from spreading the word of God, yet even through his suffering, he declared that he has fought the good fight and finished the race, proving that even through his hardships he still received greater peace and joy. One thing that I want to apply from this verse in my life is to chase after God instead of converting things of this world, as chasing after his heart will provide us with eternal life as hard as going down the narrow path is.

I think this passage tells me to have faith in him and to not be afraid. It tells me that I should reach out to the people that does not know God yet. Even if we encounter criticism, I should not listen to them and still follow God.

On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Mark 2:17 NIV

Mark 2:11
This verse spoke to me as the way Jesus had so much faith in his father that in front of the authorities, he was confident in his speech.
So by this verse I feel like God is reaching out to me and telling me to have more faith like how Jesus had faith in God when he spoke to the crowd and the teachers of the law.

As i read this, i was reminded of what to do when i am struggling; to always look back to Jesus. In my holidays, i think think that God is doing a work, im not sure of what he is going to do but when feel tired or even disturbed at times, i pray that i will look to Him and to persevere in my walk with God; to always fix my eyes on Him.

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

Mark 1:15 NIV
I want to be like the disciples and follow God despite what i am doing.

I think that Mark 1 spoke to me about how powerful and amazing Jesus is, and the divine authority he commands. I think that the fact that he the divine power and authority to drive out demons and heal the sick shows how much control he has over our lives. Even through the hustle and bustle of life, God is in control and is constantly guiding us and growing us to be more like him. This verse reminded me of how good and powerful our Lord is, and how he is good to us, even though we have sinned against him. One thing that I can apply in from this verse would be to rely and ask for help from the Lord whenever I find myself in a situation where I need his wisdom and goodness, instead of thinking that I can do everything myself.
