One who will stretch and empower you beyond your wildest expectations

Morning: Psalms 107:33-43; 108:1-6; 2 Kings 19:21-36; I Cor 10:1-13
Evening: Psalm 33: Matthew 8:18-27
Jesus demands much of his followers … it won’t be easy.  You may not know where you will sleep tonight.  Also, Jesus regards some of your stifling family obligations as a sort of living death.  His work is to bring life; that work takes priority.  Storms will come and you must trust him to help you weather them.  What sort of man is this Jesus?  One thing is sure … he will test you, as God will test you also. And his good purposes will be realized in you by his stretching you – and empowering you – beyond your wildest expectations.
