Most have heard the story recorded in Mark 5 about Jesus casting the demons out of the man and into the herd of pigs. It is a clear example of Jesus’ power over evil, but there is another part of the story I think is important for us.
Mark 5:18-20 writes, “As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him. But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.” So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.”
Jesus told the man to go and tell about what God has done for him. What about us? How often have we prayed for safety for ourselves or loved ones when traveling, or prayed for resolution of a medical problem, relief from a financial challenge, or success in our business, or other requests that have come to pass. Do we go and tell others the great things God has done for us, or do we attribute it to chance?
To start the process, I want to tell all of you how great God is to protect and provide great adventures to me, my wife, and my children last week as we were separated in 5 different places around the country, but all returned safely home with great experiences and memories. Praise the Lord!
Dear Lord, you protect, provide for, and save us every day. Help us remember to tell everyone what you have done for us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
