Mark 1:28-45
This devotion talks about Jesus healing the leper. Lepers were considered unclean and were forbidden to be around people. However, this specific leper had heard this man named Jesus could heal him so he went looking for Him. When Jesus went into the town, he met the leper, touched him, and healed him.
If you read the surrounding story, Jesus had healed many, including those with diseases and those who were demon possessed. Nothing is impossible for God.
The devotion goes on to talk about how sometimes people do not ask much of God. Sometimes when we pray, we ask God for just a enough, instead of asking in abundance. Why do we ask for food for a day, when God is capable of giving us food for a year?!
Wigglesworth leaves the devotional with this: "You will never find Jesus missing an opportunity to do good."
God loves us, wants to bless us, fill us, and give us more than we ask for sometimes. Are we afraid to ask God for too much? Its funny, a woman at bible study tonight mentioned this same thing (about not praying big prayers or asking God to do big things when He is very capable). Her words stood out to me more than anyone elses. Interesting that today's devotional was about the same thing.
