Where do you Run
Run to God's Word
So, Jesus came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water into wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill.
When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. So, Jesus said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe." The official said to him. "Sir, come down before my child dies." Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was recovering. So, he asked them the hour he began to get better, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." The father knew that was the hour Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." And he himself believed, and all his household. This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.
Where do we run to in times of trouble?
Do we run to anything else that ultimately cannot satisfy or save our life?
The desperate father ran straight to Jesus begging for his boy's life to be saved. The father simply took God at His Word.
Where do you desperately want God to work a miracle?
Do you believe God's Word can work a miracle within you?
The father's boy walked back home by faith, fueled by the promises of God.
We can walk with His Word, breathe in His Word, lean on His Word, abide and meditate on His Word.
Whatever road you find yourself on, your road can be paved with His rock-solid promises.
Great desperation can be a great gift. That is if we run into the arms of our Lord and Savior.
