Devotion - Tuesday, March 9

In Mark 6, Jesus sends out his disciples. He sends them out two-by-two.

We overlook the desire of our Lord that each of us have a traveling companion. No one is to embark on this journey by themselves.

Having someone with us has many benefits: When we are down, they are there to lift us up; when we are arrogant, they are there to remind us of our humanity; when we have opportunity to rejoice, they are there to share our joy; when the need comes for tears, they are there to help bear our sorry; when we gain an insight, they are there to help us work it through; and when we are in error, they are there to remind us of the Word of God.

None of us should embark on this journey without a traveling companion. The followers of Jesus go two-by-two.
