Never Give Up
Someone pronounced death over you and your circumstances. “Give up, give in, stop trying, stop hoping, you can see that there is no way out for you.” They told you your desire will never be fulfilled. That is what they told Jairus. He had been waiting as patiently as possible, given the circumstances. Let’s face it. In dire emergencies like this it is hard to keep your composure. His daughter was so sick she was literally at death’s door. He needed Jesus to work one of those miracles. But, others had needs just as dire as his own. Jesus agreed to come and help his daughter but the stops to help those others were delaying their journey. His mind began to race, “What if we do not arrive in time, can Jesus help if she dies?” His thoughts were interrupted by a man calling his name. As Jairus turned to look he recognized one of his workers. The man reported that his daughter already died, it was too late. He felt as if the breath had been knocked out of him. Just as his world started to spin he heard Jesus say, “do not be afraid, only believe.”
Outside voices were trying to sink Jairus into despair. To make matters worse, Jesus was interrupted while his daughter’s life was hanging in the balance. I can only imagine his inner voice screaming anxiously. Can you relate? You know God began to work on your behalf but then there was silence. A moment of apparent inactivity. It looked like God moved on. You can see him working in other situations, for other people. All the while your situation seems like it is getting worse. But, Jesus wants you to know something. This is what he said to Jairus: “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.” (Luke 8:50).
There is a really important point to be made by Jesus’ reassurance. He did not say “don’t worry I have the power to raise the dead.” Jesus did not confirm the report of death because he had already begun working on the situation. When you thought he stopped moving on your behalf you were tricked by the appearance of things. God tells us to walk by faith and not by sight. There is more to you and your life’s journey than you are currently perceiving. Your circumstances do not have the final say. He is sovereign over all things. When you trust his authority and love he can make your experience a billboard for his character and power.
There is no work that God starts but fails to complete. He said he will finish the work he started in you. So do not be discouraged. In the words of David: “Take charge! Take heart! Don’t be anxious or get discouraged. God, my God, is with you in this; he won’t walk off and leave you in the lurch. He’s at your side until every last detail is completed for conducting the worship of God” (1Chronicles 28:20 The Message Bible). David was talking to his son about a job he had to do. You have a job to do also. Renew your mind as many times as it takes. Repeat what Jesus said to Jairus. Keep rehearsing it, “don’t be afraid, just have faith.” God will fulfill his purpose in your life! Things are not always what they seem. Don’t be afraid, only believe.
Survival Tips When Pushed To The Edge
They harass, taunt, belittle and berate. It is not just a small group but a whole gang of people. You were just surfacing for air. You rose above your circumstances and boldly spoke the truth about your purpose and identity in Christ. “Who do you think you are,” they respond. They glare in anger. It wasn’t enough to use words. They got up and rushed at you. They put obstacles in your way, tried to discredit you and push you back into the suffocating existence you escaped. Jesus was there. He went to his hometown and without an ounce of uncertainty declared his purpose. His purpose proclaimed his identity as the Son of God.
The account reads this way:
23 Then he said, “You will undoubtedly quote me this proverb: ‘Physician, heal yourself’—meaning, ‘Do miracles here in your hometown like those you did in Capernaum.’ 24 But I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his own hometown.
28 When they heard this, the people in the synagogue were furious. 29 Jumping up, they mobbed him and forced him to the edge of the hill on which the town was built. They intended to push him over the cliff, 30 but he passed right through the crowd and went on his way.
Luke 4: 23, 28 New Living Translation (NLT)
The people rejected and berated Jesus. He responded with a simple truth. He told them their unwillingness to accept him hindered them from receiving what he had to offer. That meant they lost the opportunity to be healed, delivered, restored, and strengthened. They lost everlasting life. Jesus never denied them his service and never denied his identity. He stayed true to himself despite their awful actions. We too have to remain true to who we are. There is no need to mirror the behavior of our attackers. The choice to keep your character is what makes the difference between being pushed to the edge and being pushed over it. Jesus was pushed to the edge by the mob. They had him right at the cliff. But he walked through the crowd and headed back to fulfilling his purpose. So we can train ourselves to be unwavering in our commitment to our purpose. When pushed to the edge we won’t be shoved over, we will have the strength to walk away.
Anger: Understanding Your Burning Bush
That’s it, get good and angry! Get angry enough to set and stand for your boundaries.
Anger is a God given emotion that has both purpose and power. When you feel anger understand it is a signal meant to draw your attention to a problem. Your anger works in the same way that God used the burning bush to get Moses to tune in. The tendency is to mistake the signal that anger gives for the actual message. I confess, injustice makes me angry. If I focus on injustice I get angrier. However, that does nothing to address the problem.
It only offsets my emotional and spiritual balance and distorts my thinking. When I am angry I have to avoid rehearsing the problem. My feeling is the right response but it is not intended to be the focal point. It should be a catalyst that pushes me to seek resolution. Just like burning bush it should grab not consume my attention. Uncovering the message behind the attention grabber requires that I consider the problem in light of God’s power and promise. When I do that anger fulfills its purpose and I fulfill mine in the situation. It takes discipline to resist the urge to dwell on the injustice. Remember, there is no benefit to that approach. It actually keeps us from productively moving toward resolution. That truth alone is motivation to stay on track.
