Day 91 Bible Reading

Numbers 31: 25-54, Numbers 32, Luke 8: 40-56, Luke 9: 1-9, Psalm 49

Luke 9: 1-2 (ESV)

“And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.”

Verses 1 to 2 from Luke 9 tells us that Christ did not send his disciples out on their mini missions without equipping them first. These verses show how considerate Christ was for the people who followed him. From these verses we need to be assured that when God sends out on mission or has a task for us that he will equip us with whatever we need to be successful. This reminds me of saying that God would never give us anything to do that we couldn’t handle. Even when it seems like the task or mission is overwhelming, we have to have the faith that God knows what he is doing and he knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows we could handle the task and if needed, he supernaturally equipped us with what we needed. I’ve read bible commentary that said the trouble comes when we go out and do a work and were not called to do it, or when we are called to do the work but we don’t take advantage of equipping that God had offered us. These verses assure that whatever we’ve been asked to do by God, he will equip us with what we need and he has confidence in us that we can do the task.
