Good Morning Tuesday...
Father thank You for this NEW day. You have blessed us with another WONDERFUL day to see Your WISDOM and TRUTH. May we use this day to show this dark world Your Fruit, Your Light, and Your Glory TODAY! In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name we pray. Amen. - Do You Want A Miracle? Hear, Believe, Follow, and Watch! We read in The Book of John, chapter 4, when Yeshua, Jesus Christ, is on His Way back to Cana where He Performed His First Miracle. Our Messiah runs across a government worker or "nobleman." This nobleman pleaded with Him to return to his home with him. He pleaded with Him to heal his son who was about to die from a sickness. Let's take a look: “So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.” The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”” John 4:46-49 NKJV Now it would be easy to think that Jesus was "getting on to" this man here, but this may not be the case. Maybe what Our Savior was doing here is making a profound statement about our natural fallen state and our Faith. Maybe He was not only giving this man a message, but all those around him, and us also. Our natural, fallen human condition coupled with the influence of this world has made us a "we only believe when we see" culture. Just like our culture the nobleman thought if The Messiah didn't come with him and heal his child, his son would surely die. The mistake the nobleman made, and that we make very often is two-fold: 1.) The assumption that Jesus had to be present for a miracle. 2.) The assumption that if his son "passed away" it would be too late. God Is Always Present. Since Our Savior and Our Father Are One, nothing is impossible for Him. He Is Everywhere... All The Time. Despite how we think things "should be," which is most assuredly our vanity, God's Ways Never Fail. While what Our Father and Jesus do may not look like what we "imagined" or played out in our own minds, God Will Do Things In His Time and In His Way, The Way. Very often our assumption or how we think it "should be" gets in the way. We often play a scene in our heads of how we think things should go, but we must understand, God Is In Control. We need only look to Him to find out how things should really be. Notice what the nobleman does though. He made no further appeals, begged no more, but instead he heard, believed, follow the command of Our Savior, and went home to watch the miracle Our Savior had done at the mere Speaking Of His Word. As the man returned home his servants met him to tell him of the miracle that had happened, and that his child was made well. Further than that, it was at the exact time Jesus told the man to go home and that his son was healed! How powerful! Do you think this man became a follower? Can you imagine your child in this position and Jesus answering your pleading? Now that's a game changer! As followers of Yeshua, Jesus Christ, we must all take this into account. The man heard, believed, followed, and watched God Produce A Miracle! As desperate as this man was, He did not make appeal again. God Is Always At Work. He doesn't have a money-back guarantee because what He Says, He Does. The Creator of All Things Is Always On Time. Our Father's Yes Is Yes, and His No Is No, just as He Instructs For Us To Do. While our conditioning and fallen state teach us to only believe what we can see, Our Father Shows Us In His Word To Hear Him, Believe Him, Follow Him, and Watch His Deliverance. May we all strive to Hear, Believe, Follow, and Watch what Our Father and Our Savior Will Do For Us. May we all grow a little closer everyday to Him Who Holds All Things In His Hand, especially in these strange and uncertain times.. And may we all, like the nobleman, see Our Father And His Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Bring Life To That Which Was Dying. May God Bless, Keep, Shine His Face, Be Gracious To, Lift His Countenance Upon, and Bring Each And Every One Of You On The Other Side Of This Screen Peace! Extra Fuel For The Soul: “Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!”” John 4:50-51 NKJV “So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Mark 11:22-23 NKJV “But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” Matthew 5:37 NKJV “Trust in The Lord (Yahweh) with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
