In Mark 16:6, an angel tells the women, "Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth..." I stopped there and thought, "I do, too." It is Jesus that I have sought all my life.  He is the One that I have needed. Let's not waste any more time looking for life and love in something or someone else, but turn our hearts to Him. Jesus, lover of my soul. - Daniel Holser

Mark 7:8,9 - "For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.  (9) And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." Have we made God's commandments into a tradition or a habitual chore? Has going to church become the same-ol'-same-ol' routine? Are we comfortably drifting through the motions of the Christian life, or are we perusing the things God commands us out of humble obedience with the purpose of growing closer to Him? - Garrett Longest

Mark 13:7 - And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet."  God allows everything in this world to happen as part of His will.  We should be encouraged daily in what unfolds before us and that He's coming again soon.  Let us be found busy in His will.  - Phil Dann

Mark 10:47-48 - "Bartimaeus... he began to cry out and say Jesus, thou son of David have mercy upon me.  And many charged him that he should hold his peace." Sometimes we are so caught up with all we are doing, we miss an opportunity to do something for God.  I missed 2 opportunities for witnessing last week because I was so busy doing "great" things.  Make sure you take advantage of the openings God gives you. - Jason Brothers
