Today's Scripture *July 23, 2010*
Luke 8: 50
But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.”
Anyone with a child can put themselves emotionally in Jairus's place. His daughter had died while they were on the way home. Luke didn't record it, but the poor man probably cried out in grief. Jesus surely felt the father's very human grief. Jesus said; "Don't be afraid. Just have faith." Again, Luke didn't record Jairus's reaction to these words, but he must have felt at least some flicker of hope because he did complete his mission in bringing Jesus to his house.
When you experience intense grief over the loss of a loved one, breakup of a friendship, marriage, loss of a job or rejection, don't abandon hope. Don't turn away from the One Person who can help you.
Do what Jairus did: Don't be afraid; just have faith. Your hope is found in the Resurrected Lord, the One with power over life and death.
Lord God, we praise You and give You many thanks for Your encouraging Word to us!
May we have faith and trust in You to heal our deepest hurts. Our hope is in You, the Resurrected One.
The Lord of all things. The Ruler of life and death. The First and the Last. The Beginning and The End.
In You we have hope. In You we can live a life filled with never ending faithfulness.
In Your Marvelous Name, Amen..
Have a blessed Son-Filled weekend!
