Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you; and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, “The kingdom of God has come near to you.” But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, “Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.” I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

Observation: I see Jesus telling His disciples to look for where God is working in the lives of those to whom He is sending them and to see whether God has opened a door for further opportunities to minister to them.
Action: I have a neighbor who I chat with occasionally. I am going to invite him to lunch and see if he takes me up on it.
Observation:
Great verse to show that God wants to bless groups of people, a corporate blessing of healing & peace.
Action: I will pray for my leaders of my church, my city & my country. Please Lord Jesus come near & you are welcome & received w/ open arms.
