TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 30TH OCTOBER 2024
Jairus, the religious ruler who was a lawkeeper, fell at the feet of Jesus. This implies that Jairus rested at the feet of Christ. In other words, he was saying: ‘At your feet, I rest my case. If I can’t get answers at your feet, then I am finished. That is what the Lord has called us to do. We are called to rest at the Master’s feet.
When Jairus came and fell at his feet, he requested Him to come and heal his daughter, who was sick and at the point of death. And Jesus went with him. Jesus is a very present help in a time of need. Every time you need Him, He is there. Jesus did not mock Jairus, neither did He castigate him. He did not tell him: By the way, Jairus, have you fasted seven days? He did not ask him: Have you prayed enough, or have you given enough? No, He did not! He went with him and restored his daughter.
Learn to rest! Ruth rested at the feet of Boaz, her troubles ended, and her story changed. When Simon Peter rested on the words spoken by Jesus, he caught a net-breaking miracle. He caught the fish he could not catch when he toiled and laboured. He came with the right tools at the right time and had the right partners, yet he caught nothing because man’s effort cannot take you far. But when he rested at the feet of Jesus, he experienced an unprecedented breakthrough in his fishing business.
Child of God, we are called to rest and not to toil. If you can work it out, you don’t need Jesus. Christ came because you couldn’t work it out. He is the only one who came to die, and He is the only one who was born to die? He was not born to live; He was born to die so that you and I can live.
