In our studies of the New Testament this week, we focused a lot on the miracles that Christ administered while on the earth and the humility that he maintained throughout it all. Throughout every situation of crisis, he remained calm and collected and never had an attitude of panic or despair. I've often asked myself how he was able to maintain such peace and I have come to realize that it is because he had such unwavering faith that he truly did not fear, only believed. I think of the dad of the dying child that waited for Christ to come heal his daughter and was distraught when Christ did not seem to have to same rushed agenda. How many times in my life do I feel that he just doesn't understand how much I need him, when really he is in charge of the situation and all I need to do is trust and believe.
Mathew 11:28 reads, "Come unto me, all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." I remember my freshman year in college, my aunt gave me a plack to hang above my desk that had this scripture on it. When times were crazy and I was feeling stressed, I always remembered to put Christ first and someone everything would always fall into place. Christ is always there for us and his hand is always outstretched to us, we just have to be willing to accept it.
