God Can Tell

Mark 1:29-34
29As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her. 31So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.

32That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. 33The whole town gathered at the door, 34and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.


Jesus healed many who were sick. He also drove out many people who were demon possessed. There are differences between earthly, natural failures of this world, and those that are demonic. Clearly, Jesus could tell the difference between the two, whether it be a natural sickness or that some kind of demon is behind it. Not everything is entirely natural, it can be have a spiritual reason, but it also means that not everything is spiritual. Things can happen without demonic forces behind it.

I know that there is a spiritual presence in this world. Sometimes it would be good to know the reason behind what is happening. God's wisdom is the best and that is why being able to hear God's voice is key.

Father God, I thank you for your words. Lord, let me hear your voice. Let me be able to defer the spiritual through you. Lord, I pray that your wisdom guide me. Lord, I pray that through this I get closer to you. I thank you and give you all the glory in Jesus name.
Amen.
