Scripture: Mat 10:1 And when he had called unto [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power [against] unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Observation: Matthew Chapter 10 follows the Sermon on the Mount in chapters 5 - 7, and the calling of his disciples in Chapter 8 - 9. Here we see Jesus now sending his disciples out to minister. They have heard his teachings, they have seen his miracles, they have left all to follow him. Before he sends them out, he gives them power over demons and illness.
Application: Before God sends us out on missions, he gives us the power we need. In fact, all the power we need has been given to us by his death, burial, and resurrection as we yield ourselves to him. We are all called, but few choose to follow their calling. Be assured that if we choose to follow the plans God has for us, there will be power available to us to accomplish the mission.
Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for sacrificing your life for us. No greater love has anyone than to lay down their lives for another... and you did that for us. Let us now walk worthy of your sacrifice. Give us the power we need for the task at hand. In Jesus Name, let it be so.
