We are living in a world of great need. To face dilemma after concern upon radical crisis is our occasional pattern. The truth be told we are in over our heads when it comes to pulling off life. Its demands are too big and we find ourselves woefully inadequate for the task at hand. What shall we do?
Our tendency is to believe there should be some move we can make which will derail consternation and uphold wise input. Yet, many presentations continue to baffle rather than enhance personal confidence. Maybe someone would reference a book of solutions? Meditational concepts? Large wads of money? We continue to peek out for "it" to show its face of enlightenment which will present the answer-all, cure-all for present day ailments.
However the real answer; the real cure, is neither a plan nor a project. It is a person. His name is Jesus. Jesus is always the way, the truth, and the life. Such isn't just a passage to be quoted. It is to be believed by being practiced. Our Jesus can take on any bewildering strain and align it to productive blessing. Jesus never misses. He never bails. Our confidence is rightly avoided toward ourselves and properly placed upon his name.
What will work where you live? The same thing that worked where Peter, Stephen, and Paul lived......the name of Jesus. How many times does scripture refer to "the name of Jesus"? Why? Because to speak his name in anticipatory belief is to find the one thing which works where we all live.
