Evening: Psalm 103; Mark 7:31-37
Jesus heals a deaf man who cannot speak. Does Mark tell this story simply to raise Jesus’s profile as a healer, or is there another reason? Jesus also tells people to keep the healing secret. Yet the more he asks for secrecy, the more people spread the news! Perhaps he wants to be sure people hear his message well before they speak about it to others? Think about it … the accuracy and quality of your speech depends on how well you are able to hear. So, this story might be saying: In whatever circumstance, listen well before you speak.
