Numbers 32:1-33:39Luke 4:31-5:11
Psalm 64:1-10
Proverbs 11:22
In Luke 4:40, Jesus is with the crowd healing and the text says that he healed everyone in need, (as some versions say) "no matter what." The Bible can be a complex book for many people. It can be hard to read, difficult to understand, and a challenge to apply. Still this verse to me so clearly says one thing about God. When we are in need and come to him, he will help us. I take peace in knowing this fact. I see hurt people all the time, know that the body of Christ at Lakeview is filled with them, and want to suggest that anyone who comes to Jesus asking for his help will be made better. Four Gospels clearly demonstrate this fact. People who come to Jesus are made better. Sure, he challenges us, sure he calls us to a high standard, sure he forces us to change. However, he also makes us better. He creates peace, makes broken hearts whole, and lifts up those who are beaten down. Thank God for his attitude towards us. God really does love us and is willing to better us, "no matter what."
