DEVO. 06.03.26
“Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.””
Mark 10:27 NIV
- ALL THINGS, Not “Some things”!’
- This was Jesus’ response when the disciples asked him “who in the world can be saved?”
- The disciples were looking at things through human eyes and an earthly perspective but Jesus was teaching them to look with their spiritual eyes.
- A man came up to Jesus asking Him “ what must I do to be saved?”
- The man’s commitment may shock you because his obedience to Gods law looks better than most of ours.
- He had obeyed all of the commandments.
- He was a good person.
- But the man had one problem.
- He had great wealth.
- The problem was not that he had great wealth, but that his wealth had him.
- His trust in his wealth made it hard for him to trust in Jesus
- He could rely and trust on his wealth.
- It probably had taken him a lot of hard work to build that wealth
- He may have sacrificed a lot to obtain that wealth.
- Wealth was his security.
- He had provision, but he did not have eternal provision
- He had comfort but He did not know the Comforter!
- Could he release all that he possessed in order to possess the one thing he truly needed?
- Unfortunately, verse 22 says, “the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.”
- He said “No” to Jesus.
- He couldn’t let go of what He had in order to grab ahold of what he needed more than anything else.
- The one thing I noticed in Uganda was that they have very little!
- They don’t have great houses, cars, iPhones or money.
- But they have one thing that we need!
- True Joy!
- You can see it in their eyes!
- They have Jesus and that’s all that they need.
- They know what it means to say, “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
- I’m not telling you to be poor. That’s not the answer.
- The answer is Jesus!
- Does He have your heart or has your own self reliance and trust blurred that?
- Can you trust Jesus with everything?
- If you lost all of your “Things” would you still trust and rely on Jesus?
- Could you let go of everything and walk away with Jesus?
- It is possible!
- Jesus says “All things are possible”
- Today, make a fresh commitment to Jesus!
- Lose the control you have over your life and let the Spirit of God have control over you!
- Have a great Wednesday!
