Mark 5:1-20

Jesus had an encounter with a demon possessed man. He drove the demons out of the man and into a herd of swine. When the people of the village saw the man and heard about what had happened, they became afraid and asked Jesus to leave. Sometimes it is easier to deal with the status quo than to allow Jesus to come in and change our lives. We can become frightened about what it means to give ourselves completely to Him. Too often we think about what we have to lose and not what we have to gain, but once we start to let Jesus fill our lives, we barely miss those things we were so scared of leaving behind before. Each day we need to ask God to show us what He wants to change in our lives and be ready to make the change no matter how scary it may be.
