Day 58 The Spirit is Willing But The Flesh Is Weak

Day 58

Daily Bible Reading Schedule

Numbers 2
Mark 14

As you will notice as you read the New Testament that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John basically tell the same stories, only from a different viewpoint.  You might feel that you could just skim over the text, since you read it all in the Book of Matthew, but I urge you to read every Book of The Bible so God can show you things as your read.

In Mark 14
Jesus knew that He was going to the Cross.  He was human, and was not thrilled about that, so he went Gethsemane to pray.  He told his disciples in Mark14:34
My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death; tarry ye here and watch.

Jesus walked a bit fell onto the ground and prayed in Mark 14:36
Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless, not what I will, but what thou wilt. 

Jesus goes back to his disciples and finds them sleeping.  Jesus says in Mark 14:37-38
Sleepest thou?  Couldest not thou watch one hour?
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.  The spirit truly is ready but the flesh is weak.

Jesus went back and prayed, when He returned, they were asleep again.

How often does that happen to you?
God tells you to do something, and you don't do it.

God comes back and tells you again, and you don't do it.

Why is that?
The spirit is willing and the flesh is weak.

That is why we need to read the Bible everyday.  We need to get our Spirit Strong in the Lord and in His might.

That is why you need to read the Bible everyday.  Talk to God Everyday.
