February 11, 2019 Catholic Daily Reflection : Topic - “Scurrying” for Jesus

- , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

February 11, 2019 Catholic Daily Reflection : Topic - “Scurrying” for Jesus



As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him.  They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.  Mark 6:54-55

Jesus caused the people to “scurry.”  That’s an interesting word to use and an interesting response from the people.  What does “scurried” mean and what does it tell us about the people?
To “scurry” means one moves quickly and intentionally with short and hurried steps.  It’s a very specific word identifying a very specific action.  The people are not just moving toward Jesus in a quick way, they are scurrying.
When you think of this image of scurrying, it seems to reveal a certain intensity with which people were seeking out Jesus.  The description of them hurrying to Him with these short and rapid steps reveals that they were intent on getting to Him while they seemed to have something else on their minds.  What was on their minds?  Healing.  They knew that Jesus would be a source of true healing for those who were sick and so the people, with great intensity, brought them to Jesus wherever He was.
In a sense, this must be our approach to Jesus in regard to our life of faith.  We must recognize Him as the source of all healing, especially spiritual, and we must keep our minds focused on Him as the Divine Physician.  Our longing and intensity with which we seek Him out must consume our full attention.
Reflect, today, upon this interesting image given to us in these Holy Scriptures.  Try to put yourself into this scene of the Gospel, pondering whether you need to be more intentional and intense in your desire to be with Jesus.  He is the source of all grace and mercy, and He is the Divine Physician who waits for you to come to Him with your every need.  Scurry toward Him and let Him pour forth His grace.
Lord, increase my longing for You and my desire to be with You.  Help me to know that You are the Divine Physician my soul desires.  Help me to trust in You always, coming to You for the fulfillment of all my needs and longings.  Jesus, I trust in You.
