Luke 7:13
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
Is God really there? Does He really hear me? I’ve asked that question more than a pastor probably should. God is so high above us, so shrouded in glory and majesty, would He really see us? If He did, would He really care for us?
Jesus, the Lord, Yahweh in the flesh, saw the woman in Nain who had lost her husband and now her only son. He didn’t just know about it or read it in the obituaries, He saw her and felt compassion for her. Then, and this is almost too much to hope, He fixed it. The cross, the grave, and then the empty grave are enough to shut up forever that needling worry. God hears you.
Prayer prompt: Lord, kill all my doubts by turning my eyes to the glorious gospel of Jesus!
