Shake It Off and Move On

“And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.”
​-Mark
 6:7-11 (ESV)

There’s a lot going on in this little passage! First, He sent His disciples out 2x2. A buddy system. He didn’t send them out to strange places by themselves. Some of the hardest things are easier to just because you have someone with you. He also GAVE them authority over unclean spirits. That’s a pretty big deal- possibly the hardest thing they would ever come across would be an evil spirit and He gave them ruling over it! But He didn’t charge them with changing the hearts of people- only Jesus can do that. He gave them a spiritual authority over evil spirits but yet people will always have free will and that’s something we don’t have authority over. You can’t change stubborn minds or hardened hearts.

Jesus also instructed them not to take ANYTHING with them expect a staff. No food, no money, not even a change of clothes. Along their travels, they would be at the mercy of other people for food, shelter, bathing and other daily needs. By inviting people in, it would give the disciples a chance for fellowship and evangelism. In general most people would- it was more common back then but there were some people who gave them an absolute N O.

He told them to not worry about those folk. Anybody who can’t allow a person traveling long distance for even a drink of water had some serious spiritual issues. Just plain rude! He told them to shake their dusty and nasty feet off in their house as a testament and MOVE ON. I bet that made the dwellers real happy 😆
​

The point: don’t dwell on what you can’t change. Especially people. People are people. Some people don’t want to be changed. They don’t think they need change. Don’t dwell on these things. SHAKE IT OFF. MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE. Don’t waste time on them when there are PLENTY of other people who are willing to listen 🙌🏻

God's Credible Goodness

#5 [goodness] Illustrated Faith Gratitude Documented 2017

Picture

"And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.” -Mark 10:17-18 (ESV)

I was listening to a podcast by Lysa Terkeurst earlier this week and she made this similar statement. God does not need for everything to be good for His goodness to be credible. What does that mean? God does not your life or any part of your life or any part of anyone’s life to be (good, healthy, peaceful, prosperous etc.) for Him to BE GOOD. He is good if the world was in chaos or in perfect peace or nonexistent at all. Circumstances do not equate with the meaning of His character.

We doubt that sometimes. Why do so many bad things happen if God is good? Why does cancer and other terminal illnesses exist if God is good? Why is the world in a constant state of turmoil if God is good? It’s not because of what God DID. We’ve caused our own destruction, God just allows it. We cause our own sin, God just allows it. If God didn’t allow all the bad things to happen then we think we wouldn’t need Him would we?

Everything we do has a consequence- good or bad. We don’t get to choose our consequences but we do chose our choices.
