99. His Word Is Power

Mark 1:41


Do you know what hopeless feels like? Have you been pulled under by despair? Are your problems too messy? Is your drama so completely overwhelming that you are beyond the point of no return? Have you ever wilted underneath the desperate tide of knowing that you are un-helpable and un-aidable? Do you know what it feels like to be ‘more trouble than you’re worth?’ Have you ever felt as though you are such a complete disaster that even God Himself wouldn’t want to touch your life with a 10 foot pole? Here’s the thing: you will be too much for some people. There are folks in your life who will give up on you because your mess is just too messy for them. There are people who simply don’t have what it takes to untangle your knots, but Jesus isn’t one of them. Jesus is Almighty God. John chapter 1 says everything that exists is here because Jesus made it in the beginning. He simply spoke, and the universe burst into being! That same powerful word is still in His utility belt to help you today. The word of power that brought forth galaxies filled with stars and systems of planets is still being spoken. The word of power that made the teeming hundreds of thousands of species from nothing is still being uttered. Jesus said, “Let there be light!” and light exploded from nothing! Jesus said to a leper, “Be clean!” and instantly, he was healed. Jesus can come right down into the convoluted mess of your overwhelming and dramatic problems and speak a powerful word of order, peace and love and simply fix the whole thing. So, what are you waiting on? Ask Him to help!
