Reading: Mark 5:21-43
Fear is a great motivator.  We have a tendency to build walls around ourselves so that we can feel less vulnerable to the things in life that may hurt us.  Listen to Pastor Seabaugh speak about how Jesus calmed the fears of two people through his re-creative power.  “Don’t be afraid, just believe.”

Rummage

Rummage
What are you looking for? Do you feel like you just rummage through life, searching for something that will satisfy an otherwise unidentifiable longing? It seems in our current society contentment is shunned and the “haphazard search” is glorified. Think about it. When was the last time you watched a movie or a TV show about someone who was rather content? No! The more troubled, the more misled, the more “undirected” the better! Now that’s exciting!

“What are you looking for?” is the question from Jesus in John chapter 1 to His new disciples. They, too, were rummaging. The irony of the question is that they were just hoping for someone to bring back some nationalistic pride when they had really stumbled upon the “Word made flesh.” In our world of insatiable longing, we need to honestly ask ourselves what we’re looking for. Because, whether or not we’re really looking for it, Jesus is the only real source of contentment and rest. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28)
