Set backs and delays! The bible tells of a man that had every reason to just give up. Set back number one, he was paralyzed. Did he let the fact that he was unable to walk stop him from going to the meeting where Jesus was teaching. Absolutely not. They put him on a stretcher and carried him to the meeting. But, set back number two. Once they got to the meeting it was already full, and they couldnt get in. Ok, right there, Im just going to go home, the building is full. Did this stop them from touching Jesus. Did they say, Well, the house was full, I guess it just wasnt Gods will. NO. They climbed up on the roof, tore the roof open, and lowered him down right in front of Jesus. Now that is about as aggressive as faith gets! Did Jesus call for the ushers to escort them out? Did he fuss at them for the mess and the noise? NO. They didnt care about the building codes, or anything else. They got to Jesus, and he healed him! Is your faith passive or aggressive? I know people who get sick, pray all of three of four times, and if they dont receive healing they just passively sit back and say, It must not be Gods will. These men ran into all kinds of difficulties and set backs. Did they sit back passively and blame Gods will? No. They got aggressive and touched Jesus, they didnt wait for Jesus to touch them! There is someone today, and you have had set back and delays, set backs and delays, and you just thought that was your lot in life. You have passively set back and let this old world run you over like a locomotive. Its time to get up and reach out for Jesus, and keep pressing in until your life changes! If this blessed you, and you feel it would bless another, feel free to like and share.
