Today is 9/27 and the verse of the day is from Mark 9:27, "But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up." NLT
Appearances can be deceiving. Jesus had cast an evil spirit out of a boy, but he appeared to be dead. People started writing him off; giving up on him. Then, wouldn't you know it, Jesus reached down and took him by the hand and helped him to his feet. With Jesus' help, the boy finally stood up.
It's like that with us, you know. People give up on us, and we even give up on ourselves. We think we've gone too far or done too much. We think we will never rise above our circumstances. But, help is within reach. Jesus has never given up on us. He reaches down for our hand and He wants to help us to our feet. It's amazing that His help can really change everything. He can help us stand when everyone else has written us off. He's always reaching out His hand to us. So, what are we waiting for? Help is not on the way...He's already here...reaching for us.
