Friday, July 12th | Mark 6:7-13

Passage:
7 He summoned the Twelve and began to send them out in pairs and gave them authority over unclean spirits. 8 He instructed them to take nothing for the road except a staff ​— ​no bread, no traveling bag, no money in their belts, 9 but to wear sandals and not put on an extra shirt. 10 He said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place. 11 If any place does not welcome you or listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So they went out and preached that people should repent. 13 They drove out many demons, anointed many sick people with oil and healed them. -- Mark 6:7-13 (CSB)

Song:
Wherever You Lead by Dustin Smith, Ethan Hulse, Kristene DiMarco, and Mitch Wong

Lyrics:
I’m done trusting in what’s sinking
These boats weren’t built for me
I’m done drifting on the water of insecurity
In the noise and the distractions
In the storms of arguing
I hear Your voice calling

(And)(Oh) I’m gonna fix my eyes on Jesus
Walking with the One who walks on the sea
Oh I’m gonna give my life to follow
Speak to me and I’ll go wherever You lead
(Wherever You lead)

I’m done worshipping an image
Of what only looks like me
Surrounding You with limits of what my eyes can see
God would You forgive me restore the mystery
I hear Your voice calling calling

Wherever You go wherever You lead
That’s where I’ll go that’s where I’ll be
The moment You call the second You speak
That’s when I’ll go step out and believe

Prayer:
O Lord, give ear unto our prayers and dispose the way of your servants in safety under your protection, that amid all the changes of this our pilgrimage, we may ever be guarded by your almighty aid; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
