In The words of William Cowper:
"God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sov’reign will.
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sov’reign will.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.
Jesus is the King of Kings and the Lord of lords. He is upon His
throne. All is well. He calls us to rise up and come to Him and follow Him. I
like the encounter of the blind man named Bartemaeus, when he met Jesus, when
someone in the crowd said to Blind Bart, “Take heart. Rise. He is calling
you.” We all need to hear those words. Sometimes it is Jesus who says these
words to me. Sometimes it is my wife, a good friend, or one of my
children. Whoever it is, this person is a messenger of God, who speaks the word
of the Lord to me. In this encounter with the blind man, it was an unknown
messenger from God in the crowd.
“Take heart.” Those words ring in my ear.
They echo in my mind. They resonate within the chambers of my heart. Take
heart. There are many times when we lose our
inner desire to get up, get out, and get things done. At times we give up, or
may at least be close to quitting. Perhaps we are overloaded, over- confronted, over our heads with life.
In that moment, Jesus calls to you and to me,
“Take heart.” Those words become an infusion of energy to us.
Jesus is saying those words to you today, “get up.” He is calling us today to follow him.” Jesus comes to heal our spiritual blindness. Blind Bart was physically blind, but many of us are spiritually blind - blind to the things of God, to the power and goodness of God all around us every moment of every day.
In Jesus,
