Mark 9

What a great chapter with much insight into the inner arguments we sometimes have about our spiritual "greatness" and abilities we think we have, until we are put to the test and truly see that we were born into a lost and fallen state. We each must spiritually awaken to realize God is our Father, Creator, ruler and refiner, yielding to Him, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, to become spiritually transformed and closely abide in His love. As we diligently seek Him and His will, giving ourselves to prayer and fasting, we become humbled, obedient and willing to act in His power to love and serve others as both an extension of His body and as the salt of the earth. Become as a child and do not stop them.
