“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV
The Tomb
Have you ever wanted something to happen – something that would transform your life – something that God has promised you will happen – and all you see around you is any and everything that contradicts that your promise is going to come to pass? We all have seasons in our lives like this. We know that healing will come, reconciliation will come, peace will come, jobs will come, finances will be made right, joy will be felt once again – but it seems like those things we know will happen are so far away and seem impossible to reach.
The disciples had a season like this – and it lasted just 3 days. I can almost guarantee that it was the longest 3 days of their life, though. When their leader was captured, killed, and laid to rest. Can you imagine their grief? Can you imagine the doubt they held in their head that Jesus would rise up once again? The fear that have encompassed them must have been unbearable. Their dream had not only died, but tortured and humiliated.
Then, everything changed! Sunday arrived and the supernatural happened. What was humanly impossible became real! Their dream came alive again! (See John 19 & 20)
Do you have a dream that you doubt will ever come to pass? A dream that God Himself placed in your heart? Do not give into that doubt! You will see it come to pass. Just know that there are supernatural things happening that we cannot perceive. God has us all in His hands. All we have to do is trust Him!
Pray this with me: Lord, I cast down the stronghold of fear and doubt right now. I know that what You have promised will come to pass. I have faith that You will do all things in my life, no matter how humanly ridiculous it may be. I thank You for Your grace and mercy, for your precious Son who bled and died for me. But oh how marvelous is the gift of His resurrection! We give You honor, dear Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Be blessed everyone!
