Chapter 9:14-29 records the story of [[Jesus]] and the father of the boy with the dumb spirit. [[Jesus]] said to the father, "...all things are possible to him that believeth." Knowing that [[faith]] in [[God]] is rewarded by [[God]] Himself should bring strength and encouragement to every Christian. Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without [[faith]] it is impossible to please him." You might feel that your [[faith]] is weak and needs to be strengthened. [[Paul]] told the church at Rome, "So then [[faith]] cometh by hearing, and hearing by the [[Word]] of [[God]]" ([[Romans]] 10:17). The daily practice of reading [[God]]'s [[Word]] will enrich and strengthen your life and enable you to better face the trials and problems of our troubled world.
Chapter 10 records the Pharisees coming to [[Jesus]] again to tempt Him. [[Jesus]] answers their questions concerning divorce by telling them it was because of the hardness of their hearts that [[Moses]] wrote the precept about divorce found in Deuteronomy 24:1. In verses 11 and 12 we read what [[Jesus]] said concerning divorce. "And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.".
The compassion of [[Jesus]] is seen as He ministers to the little children and to the blind man in this same chapter. What a lesson for Christians today! We are often too busy to have time for others. We sincerely need more compassion and [[love]]--not only toward fellow Christians, but toward a lost and dying world. May [[God]] grant us that compassion, and the ability to see a world that is looking for someone who really cares about them--someone who can give them the [[peace]] they are seeking!
'''MEMORY VERSE FOR TODAY:''' Man now can be: Righteous.
[[Romans]] 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
