#MorningDevotion Trail Blazing Mark 2:2-4 (LB) 2 Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there wasnt room for a single person more, not even outside the door. And he preached the Word to them. 3 Four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher. 4 They couldnt get to Jesus through the crowd, so they dug through the clay roof above his head and lowered the sick man on his stretcher, right down in front of Jesus. We will get you there no matter what it takes. I believe that is the attitude these men had. They had one vision and one purpose and that was to get Jesus to touch their friend and they were not going to allow circumstances to stop them. They we willing to think outside the box they we willing to pay the price they were committed to the cause and nay Sayers were not going to stop them Sometimes, the road to success compels us to be different and to take approaches that are different than others. The men of the text took a very unorthodox approach to their healing. They were not limited by the fact that it was not at all customary to breakup a roof. When they found that the door was blocked they immediately sought ways to get close to the Lord, even though every traditional way was blocked. There are times you will clearly see what God wants for you but all the acceptable routes to get there will be barricaded. You will have to become a trail blazer and chat your own route. You will have to risk disapproval from those who are content to stay in the boat. The believer often searches for a way to accomplish a goal and is not afraid to try a different approach. Dare to be different! That is easier said than done, because being different usually carries with it the stigma of nonconformity. Yet, one of the most salient features of the lives of great men and women is the fact that they had the courage to be different from the rest of the crowd marching toward mediocrity. Q: What walls are blocking you from archiving your goal? Q: If the crowds are blocking your entrance are you daring enough to create your entrance? Q: Are you courageous enough to go against the norm? Do something start today!
