Only Take What You Need
January 24, 2021 • Ps. Justin Spina
Only Take What You Need Mark 10:46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus, was sitting by the roadside begging. Mark 10:47-52 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.”50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. 51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” 52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

"I Found Insight in Hindsight” Proverbs 24:3 TPT Wise people are builders— they build families, businesses, communities. And through intelligence and insight their enterprises are established and endure. F.L.U.F.F. Fruitless Living Under False Facts S.T.U.F.F. Stinking Thinking Unfit for Faith Genesis 37:31-32 NIV 31 Then they got Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood. 32 They took the ornate robe back to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe.” Genesis 37:33-34 NIV 33 He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! Some ferocious animal has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces. 34 Then Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and mourned for his son many days - All his sons and daughters came to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said, “I will continue to mourn until I join my son in the grave.” John 11:17 NLV When Jesus got there, He heard that Lazarus had been in the grave four days. John 11:38 & 39 NLV Jesus went to the grave with a sad heart. The grave was a hole in the side of a hill. A stone covered the door. Jesus said, “Take the stone away.” The dead man’s sister, Martha, said to Him, “Lord, by now his body has a bad smell. He has been dead four days.” John 11:43-44 NLV Jesus called with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” His hands and feet were tied in grave clothes. A white cloth was tied around his face. My insight: I stopped looking for something that’s not in me, to cultivate what is!
