The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part OneSample

Daily Reflection: Before Jesus healed the man of his leprosy, Mark 1:41 states that Jesus was “moved” by the man’s asking for his help. This immaterial movement led to a physical reaction that resulted in Jesus’ touching of the man and his ultimate healing. Despite the chaos this would create for Jesus (see Mark 1:45), he was moved to heal anyway. This is how Jesus feels about his family; he is driven to see them thrive.

Daily Demonstration: Jesus consistently makes himself aware of that which causes him to feel moved. The result, he moves, and amazing things happen. Perhaps there will be something that causes something inside of you to move today, as well. Ask God how you can react to that particular movement. Looking toward the fast, ask God to continue inspiring you to move as you grow in a deeper relationship with him.
