Day 28/365 Bible in a Year

Today I read Matthew 8-10. It was exciting because I was half asleep when I was attempting it the first times and I was actually imaginng things ha! Anyway. I did read it again twice. Lol. It's all good!

Chapter 8
This is when Jesus begins performing miracles around His city to all its people. The first miracle recorded by Matthew was the man healed of leprosy. If you don't know what leprosy is I can tell you. Leprosy is a nasty chronic disease caused by a certain bacteria. It looks like this when on your face...

Jesus just healed it no problem. He healed Peter's mother in law and others, a Roman officer's servant.. MANY more! Then he tells his followers about the price of following Him. He then goes out on the water in a boat with His disciples on their way to Gadarenes. A storm came and the disciple became afraid. Jesus calmed the storm, again no problem. See how easy it is for Him to take care of our problems? He takes them from us so easily.. it seems like they aren't even a burden to Him.

Jesus casts demons out of the two men on Gadarenes. Amazing right?

Chapter 9
He even healed the paralyzed man (yes I said paralyzed), He even ate with us sinners instead of the righteous. He justified His actions by these words,

"Healthy people don't need a doctor-sick people do." Matthew 9:12

He then heals a woman who has been stuck bleeding for years.. with AGAIN, no problem! He also heals a little girl who everyone knew was dead. Jesus simply told them she was sleeping and took her by the a\hand and told her to wake up and BAM! She did. He healed the blind and the mute, they could see again. Speak again.. So great a gift from God. Then he urged His disciples to pray for more workers for Christ. He tells them that He is about to send them all out to cast demons form people and heal people.

Chapter 10
Jesus also sent out His disciple after He told them what He was going to give them the power to do. They would heal the nation of Israel, ONLY the people of Israel not the Geniles or the Samaritans. They were to take NOTHING with them but the minimal. One pair of clothes, and Christ's words. Jesus tells the disciples that they will be persectued throughout this trial all the way until even after His death. They may even be killed for what they are doing, but they need to perservere.

Isn't that what God is asking us to do every day? Perservere? Duh! I know my spelling may not be correct, but you get the word I am stating. God wants us to pray continuously, to follow Him no matter what life throws at us, good and bad. Praise Him for it ALL!!!

Tomorrow I am reading Romans 9-10.
