In reading the opening chapters of Mark's gospel today, I was reminded of a couple of very important truths. (1) Our God is the God of the miraculous. He healed the sick and raised the dead and when he called the fishermen they dropped what they were doing. He can do whatever He chooses to do. (2) The key word in the Gospel of Mark is "immediately." Not only can our God do what He chooses, He does it when He chooses. Just as wonderful as it is that He can do what He will is the fact that time is no obstacle for God. Not only does the word "immediately" apply to God, it applies to us and our obedience. When we understand from God's word something that He want us to do, God expects our obedience immediately.
So, we serve a God that can accomplish what He wants when He wants and he expects our immediate obedience (what He says, when He says, the way He says, with a right attitude). The God that we walk with is such a wonderful God that loves us and protects and provides for us. Let us walk faithfully, just as He is so faithful toward us.
