“When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers terribly; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water” (Matthew 17:14-15).
There are many calamities that happen in this age. We think we know, but we do not. Sometimes science answers the what, but it will never answer the why. Jesus answers both the what and the why. Many false teachers in this age will lead us away from the One true God, but our Lord Jesus has come to restore the relationship, remove the wickedness, and lead us to do the Father’s will on earth as it is done in heaven.
Gracious Lord, You have revealed the truth that there are wicked forces that fight against us in this age. Some things are not going to be cured with medicine. Lead us to live into the life You have given us by grace through faith so that we may humbly walk in the truth of Your presence and purpose. Keep us safe from any forces or powers that would lead us astray and restrain us from humbly walking with You.
Lord Jesus, the world today often does not believe in what Your word tells us is true. Let me neither go to the place of unbelief or fanaticism, but to the place where I trust You in all circumstances. Guide me today, Jesus, to know that You will guide me through every trial and any tribulation that may come my way. In Your goodness, keep me close to You, looking to the salvation You bring moment by moment. Amen.
