January 15 Devotion

Read Mark 1:21-34


Part of the good news of Jesus was restoration and healing.  People who had been living under spiritual, mental, and physical torment were being set free. News concerning Jesus' healing authority spread like wildfire. Jesus was quickly becoming a regional superstar.

The demons knew the identity of Jesus but were commanded not to speak. The healings were not to demonstrate his power and authority.  The healings were for people to be set free. Jesus came to help but not put on a show of power.  He passed the temptations in the desert and in his ministry by relying on the word of God and staying close to His Father.


Read Mark 1:35


After such a powerful night of healings, Jesus left early, very early, to get alone with His Father in prayer. Spend time alone with God today in prayer.  God will refocus your heart and sift your motivations as you spend time with Him.
