In Mark 2, a man was sick of the palsy. Palsy refers
to various types of paralysis. So, the man was a living dead. However, he had four
friends (or maybe brothers) who were always carrying him around as I suppose. One
day, they heard Jesus was in town, and they tried seeing Him, but the crowd was
too much. Against all odds, Bible says these guys opened the roof of the house
where Jesus was and let down the sick man. That was all they could do.
The lyrics of a song say, “Our help is in the name
of the Lord.” We all need help at one point or the other. Sometimes, we turn to
some people who we know ordinarily could help, but we get disappointed. However,
I have personally come to understand that, it is not like those people didn’t want
to help, they also need help.
Just like the man with palsy, many of us have things
we need help with, but instead of going to people, go to Jesus. A man once
said, stop looking unto me, I look unto Jesus too, so let’s keep looking unto
Him together.
Man cannot help you if God does not help you. The
Psalmist says, “I will lift up mine eyes to the hills, from whence comes my
help.” In order words, he knew great people who were positioned at the top, but
he still realized that his help was from none of them, but from the One that
made the heaven and the earth.
The disciples demonstrated this when they were
experiencing the storm. They didn’t bother to jump into the sea and swim away
or call on a rescue boat, rather, they went straight to Jesus and said, “Help needed.”
Stop going about looking for help from men, (except the Holy Ghost tells you to
do so); go to Jesus – the only sure source of help.
I pray for you that no more shall you lack help in
Jesus Name. Amen!
