And He (Jesus) went up into the hills, and called to Him those whom He desired; and they came to Him. And He appointed twelve, to be with Him, and to be sent out to preach and have authority to cast out demons; Simon whom He surnamed Peter; James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, whom, He surnamed Boanerges, that is, son of thunder; Andrew, and Philip, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canannaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him. Mark 3:11 – 19a

Lord these are the verses that tell us that You chose Your disciples. I wonder what it was like to have been chosen by You. What kind of excitement filled that room? How wonderful it must have been for all of them to have been chosen by You Lord. They didn’t have it easy but their rewards were great.

Lord often we don’t have it easy either. Life is full of ups and downs. The good news is that You are always with us through those ups and downs. Thank You for always being there to bring us comfort and cheer. We love You Lord and thank You.

Thank You Lord.
