In 4:35-41, the disciples discover that even when Jesus doesn't seem to be fully with them, they must trust him. Do you trust Jesus completely, even in the times he doesn't seem to be fully with you? What is the serendipity, the joyful surprise, in trusting Jesus completely?
New Testament Bible Study
- A new approach to learning and interacting while we develop our faith...
- Welcome to the online study of the New Testament, sponsored by Faith United Methodist Church in Champaign, Illinois, but open to anyone to participate. The guideline for this is simple - there are 260 chapters in the New Testament, one for every weekday in a calendar year. This page lists a bible chapter to read, and questions to ponder, for each weekday. The books aren't studied in the order they appear in the Bible. You can share your answers or thoughts by commenting to each day's post. To start from the beginning, look for "Mark 1 - August 18" in the Blog Archive below.

I am pretty sure that I don't trust Jesus as much as I should. I tend to want to fix things myself. However, I do know that the awesome blessings and abundant joy I have received when I have trusted him is worth putting myself aside and giving the situation to Jesus. The surprising joy is that whatever Jesus does with my situation, however long it takes to resolve, will be wonderful. This makes me hopeful and gives me the courage to trust him more and more.
