Devotion for January 23

Read Matthew 9:27-34


It was agreed. Nothing like these miracles of healing and power had been seen before.  The Pharisees were convinced that something demonic was taking place. 

News about Jesus was spreading although Jesus described it this way, "According to your faith, it will be done for you."


Faith was driving the quickly spreading movement of healing. 


Read Matthew 9:35-38

The compassion of Jesus met the faith of the hurting and harassed people. Miracles, freedom, and new life were multiplying everywhere.


According to last verses of this passage, there is neither a shortage of compassion on God's part nor hurting people (the harvest is plentiful). Jesus says as the Lord for more workers to join in work of bringing God's compassion to hurting people.  Will you pray? Will you serve in that number?
