Feb 20th Leviticus 9:7-10:20 makes it very plain that doing your worship and sacrifice God's way is always BEST. We need a revival of obedience and respect for the things of God. Evidence of this obedience is plain in verse 9:23-24 however 10:1-2 demonstrate what happens when we disrespect Him. We see the trait of Jealousy expressed by GOD and are reminded that He expects the preeminence in and from His children, ministers and priest of whom we are. One requirement that was made clear to Aaron was stated in verses 8-11 of teaching the children of Israel about GOD and His Ways. We need to be very careful as ministers and teachers to obey God and observe His commandments and statues so that we do not lead little children astray by either wrong words or wrong deeds.

Mark 4:26-5:20 show the Omnipotence of Jesus over His creation. I hope you find verse 4:36 very exciting and applicable in your life. When we enter into storms we ought to look for His heart when we cannot see His hand, but if we keep our eyes on the "bad circumstances" we will fear exceedingly as did the disciples when they were in the boat in the storm with Jesus. I hope you have experienced a similar event in your life so that you too have said "what manner of man is this" and then quickly thanked GOD for His favor in your life. Your salvation experience may not have been as dramatic as that of the demon possessed man of Chapter 5 but the after miracle instructions are clear and specifically dictated by Jesus in verse 19. We are to extend the ministry of Jesus in our area of influence, the Gospel, repentance toward God and faith in Jesus, which is salvation from the wrath of GOD.
