🙏 Heavenly Father, let us humbly submit ourselves to You and listen to Your teachings in these next two chapters of Mark’s Gospel. You have shown us already how easy it is for us to lose our perspective of Your holiness as You condescend to draw near to us. Let us remember that the drawing near is always meant to lift us to You and Your Kingdom, never to reduce Your almighty Son, Jesus, to ours. You have told us who HE IS. The great I AM. And we sit now to LISTEN TO HIM. It is in His name that we pray that You soften our hearts to hear You today. Amen.
