Jesus set a man free from a legion of demons, and the whole town should have celebrated—but instead, they begged Him to leave. This devotional explores why we sometimes cling to our comfort, our routines, and our “pigs” more than we welcome the presence and power of Christ.
In Mark 5, Jesus pauses on the way to help an important man in order to listen to an overlooked woman tell “the whole truth.” This prayer of thanks celebrates the Savior who isn’t in a hurry, who listens, and who still calls us sons and daughters.
