Barnabas Bulletin ~ 0031 JESUS – THE LIFTER OF OUR HEADHow often, when we think we can see no light at the end of the tunnel, do we have to “eat” our own thoughts and words because Jesus, the Conqueror in our lives, comes again and again to LIFT US UP and give us HOPE when all that our natural eye sees is seeming difficulties or unsolvable problems? God’s plans for us are ONLY GOOD, and, even though we all go through trials and hardships, yet, if we KEEP OUR EYES on HIM, He never fails to bring us through. This jigsaw of life seems to have many parts to it; at times some of them appear to be missing, impossible to distinguish, or just too complex to put together again. But, here’s Good News. Jesus specialises in putting us together again; He’s an expert at “completing the jigsaw!”
Simon (the host) was astounded: “How dare ‘this woman’ come into my house!” And, even though he said nothing, on the inside his thoughts were screaming out,
That’s what Jesus does for us. He brings transformation when we fall at His feet and worship Him. He doesn’t aim a microscope at our head. He lifts up our heads and we are revived, refreshed and renewed (again) in His Spirit to SEE HIM, the strength and very purpose of our life.“But You O Lord, are a shield for me; my glory, and the LIFTER UP of my head” (Psalm 3:3). Bible Readings: Psalm 23:5; Psalm 24:7-10; Psalm 30; Please Pray This Prayer: “Lord Jesus, Again today I place my life in Your hands so that You will be magnified in and through the events of my life. I acknowledge that You alone are the One who lifts up my head; You alone direct the paths of my feet, because You chose me from the foundation of the world; You had Your calling upon my life before I came into existence. I thank You, Lord, that ALL things work together for GOOD to those who You call and I am no exception (Romans 8:28). In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” The Gospel Faith Messenger Ministry, New Zealand.
