On this date, April 17th Margo was reading in the book of Mark 9:38-50 titled "God's Righteous Kingdom" and in II Corinthians 1:8-14 titled "Hardships and Triumphs in Paul's Ministry".
These are the sentences Margo underlined in the commentary on the passage in Mark:
"...Painful discipline is required of his true followers. Giving up a relationship, job, or habit that is against God's will may seem just as painful as cutting off a hand. Our high goal, however, is worth any sacrifice; Christ is worth any possible loss. Nothing should stand in the way of faith. We must be ruthless in removing sins from our lives. Make you choices from an eternal perspective."
These are the sentences Margo underlined in the commentary on the passage in II Corinthians:
We often depend on our own skills and abilities when life seems easy, but when we feel powerless to help ourselves, we turn to God. We must recognize that even when life seems easy we are dependent upon God, for he upholds the universe with his power. Dependence is not defeat, but the realization that our source of truth and power is God. With this attitude, problems drive us to God rather than away from him. Learn how to depend on God daily."
