MESSAGE
Many situations in life start as small problems until they become major challenges. Just like a tree starts its adventure to grow as a tender plant, so also did some problems in many individuals’ life. Today, those problems have become mountains, yet God is saying I will help you.
Do you know that there are no mountains that can stand before the Lord and His children? In Zechariah 4:6, the Bible says, who are you mountain before my servant Zerubbabel, you will be leveled. Jesus told His disciples a similar thing that mountains will give way to those who speak in faith (Matthew 17:20).
In our text and reading of the day, the Bible told us how Jesus came through for Mary and Martha. Their situation seems impossible and hard, but not with God. The Lord came through and helped them on time. One thing you must know is that some things may be hard for doctors, they may be impossible for highly qualified individuals but not with God who does mighty things.
Lazarus had died four days, all hope was lost and there was none to help, but the Lord showed up and everything turned around for good. Do you have a difficult medical condition, are you suffering from a particular problem? Look up to Jesus, He will help you.
As a child of God, always remember that Jesus your high priest is inviting you daily to the throne of grace so that you can obtain mercy and find grace to help in your hour of need. Instead of being afraid, God said,
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
Can you see God’s amazing promise to help you? Do you believe that He will help you? Jesus said, “If you would believe you would see the glory of God?” John 11:40 NKJV. The only hindrance to your divine help is doubt and unbelief, therefore put all your trust in Lord and your help will come. It does not matter how long you have been in that condition, your help has come in Jesus’ name. Amen.
REFLECTION
For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.
Psalms 30:5 NKJV
It does not matter how long you have been facing this situation, the most important thing is that God helps you on time. Your joy is coming very soon.
PRAYER
Father, please let my joy come now. Enough is enough of struggles, please help me today.
