Good morning all,
The word of the day is “plotz.” In today’s scripture, at
this particular point in Jesus ministry he had been traveling all around
Israel, teaching and preaching about God's kingdom. The whole purpose for this
tour was to authenticate what the Scriptures said he was. Because of all this
stuff that Jesus was doing, he often attracted large crowds. Jesus had
compassion on people and had sympathy for them. This is also shown a ton in the
book of Luke, and also by the apostle Paul.
And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for
them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground
like sheep which have no shepherd.
~Matt 9:36
My question is: have you ever felt harassed and helpless,
that you had lost your way? We don't always understand the stuff that happens
in our lives. Sometimes we have something to say about it, and other times we
can only respond. The cool thing about all of this is that Jesus has compassion
for us. It is when we don't understand our circumstances and have pretty much
exhausted all options that Jesus can begin his work. So, the next time that you
feel that you have done all that you could possibly do and you are to the point
of plotzing, or fainting from exhaustion, let yourself go in the Savior will
uphold you.
Praying for you,
mo
