97. He's Got Crazy Stuff In the Works

Matthew 17:27


Are you scared? Are you worried about what’s going to happen next? Are you wondering where that next dollar is going to come from? Are you concerned about what’s going to happen when this job dries up and you have to find more work? Are you completely at a loss to find any people in your town who really love Jesus the way you do, who could be your friends? Some of you have deep problems and when you look at them with human eyes, they seem to have absolutely no solution. The good news is that if you know Jesus, you never have to look at any problem through human eyes ever again. Jesus is God. Do you realize what that means for you? It means you have unlimited power and resources on your team, now! One time, Jesus’ friend Peter needed to pay some taxes he didn’t have the money for. Jesus told him to go down to the lake and go fishing. He said that the first fish Peter caught would have a coin in its mouth that would cover Peter’s tax and Jesus’ tax. Now, I want you to think about that for just a second... At some point in the past, a person lost some money in that lake and then some time later a fish decided to snack on that coin. It turns out that Jesus organized and orchestrated the whole thing and then made sure Peter caught that fish out of all the fish in that lake that day. His power is unlimited. His love for you is off the charts. He knows what you need before you ask. He may be cooking up something insanely amazing for your story too.
