I am about two weeks into my "Read the Bible in a Year" reading plan. The daily reading features scriptures from the Old and New Testaments. I am currently reading in Genesis and Matthew. I know from leading small groups in the past, that reading to teach is much different than reading to read, so I have decided to take notes daily about what stood out to me in that day's reading.
In Matthew 10, Jesus called the 12 disciples. He then gives them the authority to drive out demons and heal the sick and instructs them to travel lightly as they go from town to town proclaiming the Word of God. "Find somebody trustworthy to stay with while you are in town," He told them. He then warned them that He was sending them out like sheep among wolves. They would need to be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
Jesus is calling us, too. If you have accepted that call, then Jesus's instructions above are also for us. I want to be his disciple today.
