Mark 1:22
The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.

I have talked about and trained people on Six Sigma, the quality methodology, for years now. And, I have also helped teams to solve manufacturing problems through its methods and tools. Now, can I say that I am an authority on Six Sigma? Yes, maybe, for I have been doing this for 15 years already and holds Blackbelt certification to say that I am.
Now, I am making this daily devotions almost everyday for 3 years now. I have relived my life, I have searched my conscience, I have poked my mind… and searched the Web for answers. Now, can I say that I am an authority on and about God? Definitely, no.
For no one is an authority about Him except His one and only Son, Jesus.
We listen and follow people about almost every things – about diet, being beautiful, being rich, being a good lover. It is easy for us to believe in them and in no time, practice what they preach.
And so, Jesus is sharing with us this love of the Father. He wants us to live a life that is totally committed to Him. He shared parables, stories, sermons and even did miracles for us to believe in the power of God in making our lives the best there is.
And all we need is to read His Word, take It to your heart and apply it to your life. Why is it so difficult for us to believe and practice what He preaches? Start learning about Jesus. His life should become our inspiration and our goal to follow.
Let Him be the one, true and only authority in our lives.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, You taught us everything about life and how to live it fully. But most of the time, we ignore them and rely on the works of people instead. May we finally accept your authority on our lives. Amen +
You have given your Son rule over the works of your hands.
