Mark 6 NIV 7 Calling the Twelve to him,he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits. 8 These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9 Wear sandals but not an extra shirt. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. NASB 7 And He *summoned the twelve and began to send them out in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits; 8 and He instructed them that they were to take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belt— 9 but to wear sandals; and He added, "Do not wear two tunics." 10 And He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave town. Meditation on Scripture:

Jesus called the twelve and then within a relatively short amount of time he sent them off on missions to heal and preach. If Jesus wanted the smartest and most intelligent missionaries he could have trained them for many years. If he wanted to be seen as the one who did all the work he certainly could have yet he sent the 12.

God could do all the things we are asked to do yet God called disciples. Yet the plan was not that things would be done by their power. There are things that God has called you to. God empowers His work. The things that are important in your life, you are not left to your own power to do. What things is God calling you to? Not what do you want to do but what does God call you to.

Meditation of Prayer:

Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.
