The Character of Jesus - DISCREET (2)

Read Mark 8:22-26. (see also this post)

"And He sent him to his home, saying, 'Do not even enter the village.'" (v. 26)

Jesus was interested in meeting the needs of this man, but not in hundreds of people following Him to be healed. He asked him to go straight home and not into the village so that not many people would find out.

I need to be more discreet about how I handle God's blessings through me. The praise and attention of men could distract from the work of God. I need to be careful.
