John 4:46-54
All of us have been faced with uncertainty, indecision and confusion. It was no different in the first century. This man, a government official, was devastated by the fact that his young son was dying. It’s the greatest fear any parent will ever face. He was desperate and he knew who to call upon for help.
There are several places throughout the Bible that indicate the power of movement. James 4:8 tells us that when we draw near to God, he responds by coming close to us. It was no different in this case. This man sought out Jesus and brought his need to the One who could potentially rise above the natural realm and touch heaven and bring the miraculous.
Jesus responded to man’s plea to come and help his son by simply saying “Go home. Your son will live.” That’s all it took. Just a word from Jesus that changed everything for this man, his son and ultimately his whole family. One word from Jesus can change your life forever.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6-7 NIV
Prayer: Abba Father, thank you for inviting us to come to you in our time of need and by drawing near to you, we find hope, mercy and help. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
