Interesting thought

I did today's daily bible reading (you can get it by following ECChurch on Twitter). It was: Mark 1:23-45. And what struck me about it is the fact that even Jesus' plans got screwed up by other people. And Jesus just adapted. He healed a leper and told him to be cool about it, keep quiet, but the leper told the world (and indeed, it is hard to keep quiet when God blesses us in superlative ways), and thus Jesus had to keep to "out of the way" places. How frustrating that must've been for Jesus! Just starting out in His ministry, and boom, He has to avoid the very places where He could reach the most people! Yet Jesus doesn't look for the leper and punish Him - He just adjusts His plans.
