Failure
overturned!
Verse for Today: Thursday, December 26, 2013
John 2:3 - When the wine ran out,
the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine".
Shortages, deficiencies and crises usually
occur in life. Often we are embarrassed at deficiencies at sensitive times when
we are unable to do anything about it. We might be forced to look at possible
sources of help and support. But often these sources frustrate us. But we can
go to Jesus who is capable and willing to handle all our difficult situations
all the time. Bit we must invite Him
into our situations and tell Him our needs. We must give Him full charge of our
affairs. When we thus make Him the Lord of our lives and situations, He comes
to take charge to rule and overrule our worst scenarios for our joy and His
glory. But we must also understand that even before we tell Him, He knows what
our needs are. That doesn't mean that we do not tell Him. We have to make Him
the Lord of our needs and surrender our needs and situations to Him to act
according to His will. If we think that we can handle it ourselves, we should
not expect Him to act in our situations. Jesus works for us when we make Him
the Lord of all our situations. But our Lord is very patient and sympathetic
with our weaknesses. So even after we handle our situations and fail, we can
still go to Him. He will forgive our failures and take our lives to reshape it
for His glory. When we submit our needs into His care, He will act at the right
time to solve our problems and meet our needs. He will also transform our situations
as a platform to glorify His name and fill us with His joy. Are we not
fortunate to have such a wonderful Lord in our lives to go to Him to meet
all our routine and emergency needs?
Dear friend, are you facing an
emergency need in your life or situation today? Are you struggling and
going through great stress in trying all your ways to meet the need? Have you been trying to take the situation in
your own hands and handle it in your wisdom? Today Jesus of Nazareth has come
your way to make Him available for you to draw from. You may go to Him and
confess your failures to Him and ask Him to take control of your crumbled
situation. He understands the depth of your needs. He is able to meet all your
needs at the right time. He will involve in your situation and take your embarrassment
and shame away. He knows how to straighten
it out in His own way. He will convert your failure into victory for your good
and His glory. He will wipe your past away and give you a new beginning. He
will reveal His glory to you in a special way so that you will be able to
praise Him for the victory that He has prepared for you. He will recreate
your situation according to His design to make it the very best. Through
it all, He will cause your faith to increase and grow and that your life
and situation will be a testimony to His faithfulness to you. But you will
have to tell Jesus all of your struggles and heartaches. You should be willing
to obey His commandment and do what He would ask you to do. Invite Jesus into
your painful life situation today to turn your impossibly into His reality. Put
your faith on Jesus today and experience His hands at work in your situation to
the praise of His name!
Isaiah 55:6 - Seek the Lord while He
may be found; call on Him while He is near.
Thought for Today
The presence of Jesus will
turn our impossibilities into His glorious reality.
