Verse 8:16 ‘…that He might humble you and test you, to do good for you in the end.’
This verse stood out to me as a reminder to trust God and his plan – the trials we face aren’t without purpose and can ultimately transform us if we keep our focus on God and trust Him wholeheartedly. Our mistakes and sins can help us grow and can be recycled into something good because of our Gods everlasting love & grace
This was a great reminder for me to put the Lord first. To trust in his timing and path for me completely. I’ve been going through a tough time lately and there’s so much that is unknown about the future. I was confused, scared, and so hurt. Why would God not hear my prayers? I lost site of all the good that God has brought me. I lost my faith. These trials in life help us redirect focus and figure out what’s most important. These passages are just another reminder that the Lord is with us and cares for us. It’s easy to trust in the Lord and be thankful when life is great. I need to maintain that same trust when life gets hard.
I know what you mean, but I feel like if you ‘zoom out’ you see his infinite patience. Even just reading the section headings it’s miracle after miracle after miracle. In Mark 6 he’s tired and needs to rest but when he sees the crowd he feels compassion! Amazing.
God’s attention to detail in the care of us is amazing. He said he would send hornets to destroy the enemy that was hiding.
He also said He would help them defeat their enemy quickly, but not so quickly that they would be overcome by “the beasts of the field”. It makes me stop and wonder, what beast is He protecting me from by not giving me what I want right now?
15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
Reminds me of one of my favorite songs (Bethel Music) : “May we never lose our wonder…may we never lose our wonder…wide-eyed and mystified, may we be just like a child staring at the beauty of our King…may we never lose our wonder…”
This reading from Mark speaks a lot, it shows us the most POWERFUL tool we have – PRAYER ❤️ thank you Father
Today’s reading in both Deuteronomy and Mark truly spoke out to me. Thank you God❤️

The way I am reading it, Jesus sounds so exasperated in a all of mark. Can anyone interpret that For me?
