'They Didn't Know What to Say!' β Mark 14:40
Key Thought
Sometimes we just fail. Maybe we fail because we don't understand the gravity of a behavior. Maybe it's because we're just too weary and distraught to do what we need to do. Maybe it's because we're weak or lazy or ... However, the bottom line is that we are flawed people living in a fallen world. Despite our best intentions, our flesh sometimes triumphs over our faith. I can't think of anything that reminds us of our desperate need for Jesus to be our Savior more than Jesus' closest followers' letting him down in his moment of greatest need. Yet he dies for them and then calls them back to his service. What a message of grace triumphing over sin, disappointment, failure, and death.
Today's Prayer
Lord Jesus, I pray in your name so often to offer praise and thanksgiving for things and to request things from the Father that I sometimes forget to thank you for your incomparable love, mercy, and grace to die for us β to die for me β even though I have let you down and hurt you with my failure and sin. Thank you! Thank you, dear Father, for such a divine plan to deal with human weakness and sin. All praise be to you, and to your Son, in whose name I praise and thank you. Amen.

"Grieve not the Holy Spirit."β Ephesians 4:30
All that the believer has must come from Christ, but it comes solely through the channel of the Spirit of grace. Moreover, as all blessings thus flow to you through the Holy Spirit, so also no good thing can come out of you in holy thought, devout worship, or gracious act, apart from the sanctifying operation of the same Spirit. Even if the good seed be sown in you, yet it lies dormant except he worketh in you to will and to do of his own good pleasure. Do you desire to speak for Jesus-how can you unless the Holy Ghost touch your tongue? Do you desire to pray? Alas! what dull work it is unless the Spirit maketh intercession for you! Do you desire to subdue sin? Would you be holy? Would you imitate your Master? Do you desire to rise to superlative heights of spirituality? Are you wanting to be made like the angels of God, full of zeal and ardour for the Master's cause? You cannot without the Spirit-"Without me ye can do nothing." O branch of the vine, thou canst have no fruit without the sap! O child of God, thou hast no life within thee apart from the life which God gives thee through his Spirit! Then let us not grieve him or provoke him to anger by our sin. Let us not quench him in one of his faintest motions in our soul; let us foster every suggestion, and be ready to obey every prompting. If the Holy Spirit be indeed so mighty, let us attempt nothing without him; let us begin no project, and carry on no enterprise, and conclude no transaction, without imploring his blessing. Let us do him the due homage of feeling our entire weakness apart from him, and then depending alone upon him, having this for our prayer, "Open thou my heart and my whole being to thine incoming, and uphold me with thy free Spirit when I shall have received that Spirit in my inward parts."

'Betrayed into Sinners' Hands' β Mark 14:41-42
Key Thought
Jesus returns from praying for the third time, and he knows the Father's answer. The challenge and the horror that he faces will not pass from him. The cross and all that goes with it will be his to bear alone. The inability of Jesus' close friends to remain awake in prayer and the approach of another one of the Lord's close followers to betray him to the soldiers sent to arrest the Son of God make clear the time of Jesus' ultimate sacrifice is about to begin.
Today's Prayer
Precious Father, the Holy One of Israel, I am saddened by the failure of Jesus' three closest followers and the treachery of Judas. Yet, dear Father, I fear that I also see in them a bit of myself. Thank you for not letting the story end in defeat and desertion by the disciples. Thank you for Jesus' faithfulness through the horrible ordeal that will not end until your Son's lifeless body is resurrected. Thank you for giving Jesus victory over death and having him bring us triumph over sin. Thank you, Jesus, for all that you endured when you had the power to prevent it. Thank you with all my heart. In your name, the name of the crucified and now risen Savior. Amen.

I admit that I am a sinner and have no right to approach Your holy Presence except through the blood of Jesus Christ Who died to pay the price for my sins.
I repent of all the wrong deeds and the sinful thoughts that I have committed in my mind.
Cleanse my heart. Purify my mind. Renew my thoughts.
Help me know that it is only as we turn from sin, and believe in Christ as the Savior that we can be reconciled back to You.
Help me to turn aside from all the darkness of the evil.
Thank You for forgiving my sins and may I walk in newness of life for this day forward.
In Jesusβ name, Amen.
