When God Doesn't Make SenseSample

The Same Jesus

The same Jesus who called Lazarus back from the grave is calling you to abundant life. You may be lonely; He is with you always. You may be anxious; He cares for you. You may be tired; He is rest. You may be lost; He is the way. You may be angry; He is love. You may be broken; He was wounded to heal you. You may be addicted; He is freedom. You may be in darkness; He is a great light. You may be dying; He is the resurrection and the life.

When God seems inattentive, uncooperative, and late, these are the moments when we get to decide what we really believe about Him. Do we believe the Bible stories we read? Even when we decide to believe the Bible is true, we may still sometimes feel like God doesn’t make sense. Yet, we can be sure the same Jesus still hears our cries, shares our pain, and saves our lives. He is our “together-strength.”

Pray: Jesus, thank You for calling me out of the grave. I choose to trust You to care deeply about what I’m facing, and I want You to face it with me. Thank You for taking on my shortcomings and my pain when You experienced brutal death and separation from God on the cross. Let’s do this!
