“And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him” (Mark 1:25-26).
Jesus has all authority and all that is created is under His authority. If He speaks, the created must listen (or flee). There are unclean spirits in this world and they are constantly busy leading those who will not listen to the Lord astray. What voice will you listen to? The voice of this world or the voice of the One through whom all things have their being? Come to the One who teaches the way, truth and new life.
Lord God, You have promised that Your word will not come back void. You have spoken Your Word and it has fallen upon my ears. Let Your word pierce my heart, slay the sinner and resurrect those who will become like Jesus. Your word is truth. Lead me into all truth and guide me upon the path of redemption so that I may journey with You now and forever into the life for which You are re-creating me to live.
Lord Jesus, You have come in order that as many as believe, hearing Your voice of truth, would be redeemed and walk the path You have set before us. Lead me in the way of salvation. Guide me into all truth. Do not let Your word slide away from me, but send it deep into my soul. Help me to see that You have come bringing life and true liberty through the love You pour into those who walk with You. Amen.
