Being still when our surroundings feel like chaos can be so hard, right? Here’s a quick reminder and prayer that you might stop in midst of all of it and experience the refuge, strength and peace that comes when we remember that He is God (& we are not 😉)
Can you imagine “amazing” Jesus? 👉🏽That’s what a Roman officer did!
He wasn’t even a Jew. He wasn’t raised in the faith. He didn’t know the Torah & yet he probably heard rumors of this carpenter who could
🙌🏽 heal heal lepers,
🙌🏽 make the blind see
🙌🏽 and the deaf hear!
So when the officer pleads with Jesus to heal his servant, & Jesus agrees to come to his home, the man confesses this:
“I’m not worthy to have you in my home.
Just SAY THE WORD FROM WHERE YOU ARE and my servant WILL BE HEALED…”
When Jesus hears this, He is amazed!
Turning to those who are following him, Jesus declares , “I tell you the truth. I haven’t seen faith like this in all of Israel!”
I don’t know what you are facing today that seems impossible, but I am praying that as you read this, you would be encouraged to have FAITH LIKE THIS!
Jesus is the same yesterday today & forever!
He longs to be your Healer
Redeemer
Reconciler
Provider
Shepherd
Rock
Manna for today…
You name it & He is the Source of anything & everything you will ever need.
Just call on His name, confess like the Roman officer that you are not worthy of His grace, but that you desperately need Him to be your Savior!
Invite Him to reside inside & “say the Word” as He leads you as Lord, watching with great expectation how a “faith like this” will move mountains in your life!
I wonder if anyone is like me this morning, in need of God’s reminder that, “It’s handled?”
I don’t what what “It” is for you, but I could fill in the blank with a few things 😉
Maybe you are waiting with great anticipation, maybe even with a little fear or trepidation, for a very tangible answer to a long-awaited prayer?
The writer of Psalm 85 speaks promise and caution to those of us who are waiting on God to align our circumstances with our beliefs.💞
When we’re waiting for healing to happen, money to come, reconciliation to unfold or opportunities to arise, we can rest assured in the very Presence of Peace, knowing that He will make a way!
Verse 8 promises that when we listen carefully to what God alone says, (verses what the world screams or our emotions bellow), our peace is directly impacted!
It also warns us that when we turn our ear to anything or anyone but Him, we open the door to become tempted to return to our “foolish ways”.
We’ve no need to fear or to try to figure things out, for our faithful Father promises His peace (that exceeds all understanding) to guard our hearts while we wait on His perfect timing.
So I invite you to join me today and take Him at His Word, trusting that “It’s handled.” 🤗
