Mark 3:13-19
In Mark 3:13–19, Jesus goes up the mountain and calls those He desires, appointing twelve apostles to be with Him, to preach the Gospel, and to share in His authority.

This shows that God’s work is never meant to be done alone; collaboration and mutual support are essential in fulfilling His mission.
Before sending the disciples out, Jesus first calls them to remain close to Him. Their strength, guidance, and authority flow from their relationship with Him. Like branches connected to the vine, we can only bear fruit when we stay connected to the Lord.
Therefore, if we truly want to work for God, we must work with Him—continually seeking His presence, drawing strength from Him, and relying on His grace rather than our own ability.
May God bless you dearest and give us the strength to remain close to Him. May His ever abiding presence be with you today. Amen.
