WORD:
“Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them.” (Mark 2:3, NIV)
THOUGHT:
It can be easy to believe that it is only remarkable and extraordinary things that make a difference. Yet, the simplest actions can be transformative. These four men did the most practical thing they knew – each picked up a corner of a mat. It was in meeting an immediate and practical need that the man on the mat was able to encounter Jesus.
PRAYER:
Jesus, may we see the small practical need before us. May we be willing to pick up a corner of someone’s mat so they might encounter you. May we never be too busy to meet the needs of another.
