Just when you think things can't get any better

While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, " Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?" As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, " Do not be afraid; only believe." - Mark 5:35-36

Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue came to Jesus to beg Him to follow him to his home to heal his ailing daughter. While Jesus and Jairus were making their way towards Jairus' house, Jesus stopped in His track to minister to a woman who had the issue of blood for twelve years. Jesus took time to assure the woman that she was completely made whole and told her to go into shalom.

Just about that moment, some came to inform Jairus that his daughter had died. It was the worst news that Jaiirus wanted to hear at that time. His heart probably sank to the deepest ocean. He would have felt his whole world collapsing on him right at that very moment. He might have thought Jesus shouldn't have stopped to talk to the woman for every second counted for him.

Jesus, the coolest being on earth, the Prince of peace, just simply assured Jairus not to be afraid and just believed. And when Jesus had arrived at Jairus' house, he commanded all the "professional" mourners to leave the room and brought only the parents and His three disciples, Peter, James and John. He commanded the little to arise and she arose from the dead that very moment!

When Jairus heard the news of his daughter's death, he would have thought that was the end of his daughter's life. That would mean the end of a potential long life where he can shower all his love upon his precious daughter. That would mean a part of him had died as well. He would have lamented that Jesus was too late!

Far be it. Jesus always knows what He is doing and what He is going to do. He is cool and collected all the time. His timing is ALWAYS PERFECT! While we may think at times that Jesus is late in delivering us out of our predicament, His deliverance is always right on target! And it is exactly what He wants to accomplish in our lives.

While waiting upon The Lord for the manifestation of our miracles, the bible teaches us to cast out all the "rubbish" from our mind in the spirit. That is to continually repent our minds to focus upon Jesus. To fix our eyes upon Him. To behold His beauty and His finished work at the cross. To keep thanking Jesus for the miracles for He loves to see us living a life stress-free and care-less in this world for as He is so are we in this world.

Stop thinking that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Starts thanking Jesus for what He has done and is doing in our lives. Many a time, Jesus delivers us from harm that we are not aware of. Give Him praise. Behold Jesus and see Him performing the miracles in our lives. Hallelujah!
