Faith and what comes from within

Continuing through Mark (chs4-7), we read of many miracles and teachings of Jesus. He heals many and overrides the power of nature! Two key points to me in these chpts are when Jesus commands the disciples to go across the Sea of Galilee in ch 4. Note he does not command them to get halfway across and drown. Even when a terrible storm comes up, He is not shaken. The disciples are afraid and think they will die. Jesus rebukes the storm and the unbelief of the disciples. Are we different today? Storms happen in our lives and we fear failure rather than believing that Jesus will see us through. The other key is ch7. Jesus talks about food not defiling, rather what you say and do defiles! It is the things from within that make you unacceptable to God. Guard yourself!
