Day4
Mark 12:35-37
“While Jesus was teaching in the courts of the temple, he posed a question to those listening: “Why do the religious scholars say that the Messiah is David’s son? Yet it was David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, who sang: Yahweh said to my Lord, ‘Sit near me in the place of authority until I subdue all your enemies under Your feet.’ Since David calls him Lord, how can he be his son?” The large crowd listened to him with delight.”
Mark 12:35-37 TPT

Challenge
Jesus challenged the crowd with a seemingly impossible question.
Psalm 110:1 is the most quoted verse from the Old Testament in the New Testament.
How is it possible that the Messiah be both David’s Lord and his son?
With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible if you believe.(Mark 10:27, Mark 9:23)
What challenge are you facing today?
Jesus’ challenge to us is, do you believe?
Believe: to accept or regard (something) as true.

Mine for today are:
2Kings 20:5
This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: 'I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you.'
“Sick and feeble, unable to stand the sight of food, we drew near to the gates of death. Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And he did! God spoke the words “Be healed,” and we were healed, delivered from death’s door! So lift your hands and give thanks to God for his marvelous kindness and for his miracles of mercy for those he loves! Bring your praise as an offering and your thanks as a sacrifice as you sing your story of miracles with a joyful song.”
Psalms 107:18-22 TPT
