Daily Devotional Day 4

MIRACLE – Jesus Heals Simon’s Mother-In-Law
As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her.  So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.

That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. The whole town gathered at the door,  and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.
Mark 1

POINT TO PONDER
There is power in family prayers.  You may have heard the words, “a family that prays together stays together.”  Today’s devotional miracle is the story about the power of a praying family.  Simon invited James, John and Jesus to make an unusual house call. As a result of a praying family, Jesus touches his mother-in-law and she is healed.

But, the story does not end with the family’s miracle.  The story goes on to report how the entire city is impacted by the praying son-in-law.  As a result of this family’s prayer many people are healed for all kinds of diseases.

PRAYER
Lord Jesus, today, I pray for our family.
Lord, touch those in our family that struggle and suffer,
Lord Jesus, I pray that you would reach down and physically touch and heal their bodies.
Lord, I pray that as a result of our family’s prayers, that our entire city would be touched.

40 WAYS I CAN PROVE THAT “WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE”
Jesus said to them, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move;
and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”  Matthew 17:14-21 (NKJV)
