June 15th -- Mark 1:1-13 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%201:1-13&version=NLT)

Go read!
Notice people were getting baptized even before Jesus came? They came and confessed, were baptized, and rose as children of Christ. Christ who had not yet come. That's some pretty strong faith. Especially seeing as they were following the word of a man who lived in the wilderness, and probably thought to be crazy by most people at the time. That is faith. That is what God wants from us. He wants us not to need the promise to happen before we believe it, but instead wait on it, knowing it is coming. His word is FINAL. TRUSTWORTHY. RIGHT. We need to know that, and trust it based on faith. The faith that those people showed when they trusted without proof? That's the type we need. It won't be easy, but it'll be easier than they had it. They had the word of a man who lived alone in the wild, wore camel hair, and ate locusts. We have the word of the living God. We've got an easy job next to them, so if they could pull it off, so can we.

That's all! God bless! Shalom!

P.S. Yes this was a day late. I finally got a fast enough internet for my online gaming yesterday, so I got sidetracked and forgot to do this. Done now, though! :)
