It'll Take A Miracle

 

Years ago when I was teaching I had a student who regularly attend summer school. It was something offered free to our students, and something that benefited those who diligently made an effort to come, and get ahead during the summer.

I had come to know this student and their family very well, and I knew the family was always making an effort to do whatever was necessary for their child to stay on top of their academics.

Well this particular year, going into the latter part of spring, when students would’ve already begun to have signed up, we were informed that there would not be any summer school for our students. There was no money. Myself, along with another individual, were visiting with this student and their family member about some things, and the subject of summer school came up. I went on to explain to them we would not be having summer school and here is why. So they discussed about going ahead and paying for summer school through another source, knowing that those places get pretty pricey, but it would be okay. Honestly, in my heart I was just thinking… I sure hate for them to have to do that, that is a lot of money, when we have always offered it to our families for free. They went on to ask, if we were sure that we would not have it, because they were going to immediately begin searching for a place. The other person setting in the room spoke up, laughing, and said, “It’ll take a miracle for us to have the money for summer school.”

I thought, “God just heard you say that!” I had seen at times when you doubted him, sometimes it seemed, just to show you he was GOD, he would change the impossible and make it happen. And that is what he did!!


By that afternoon when I got home, possibly the next afternoon, I received a text message from my principal saying, “Good news! We have the funds for summer school!” We are having it after all!!”

My heart leapt with joy! First of all, I knew God had just witnessed and heard that whole exchange with that family, and second, look what God had just done for my kid and their family!!
 

They didn’t have to foot a huge bill, and they were able to get what they needed that summer at no cost to them! Thank God!

 

Psalm 107:43

Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.

Jesus Paid A Price For You

In Mark 12:31, Jesus said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

 

I heard once, "How can you love someone when you can't even love yourself."

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Exhortation to Preach the Gospel

Jesus said, “Go you into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”

( Mark 15:15 )

Jesus teaching at the seaside to the multitudes began speaking to them in parables. Jesus says, “Take heed ( look at, beware, regard ) what you hear: with what measure you mete, it shall be measured unto you: and unto you that hear  shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

( Mark 4: 24 - 25 )

( Matthew 25 )Jesus teaching at the Mount of Olives to the disciples in parables.

There, Jesus began speaking to the disciples the things they were asking him about. He begins to share with them the parable of the talents.
( Matthew 25: 14 - 29 )

29: For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

Those that had, in the parable went out and did the work necessary to bring forth something. They made an effort at whatever ability they were at, to do what was needed, to be diligent with what they were given.   

I was a school teacher. One thing I always expressed to my kids was, “I don’t care where you are at ( referring to their ability ) always make an effort! I could live with them “missing” the mark, or “missing” what was needed…. we could correct that and learn from it; but putting for no effort, never got them anywhere with me, or in class. Others would begin to pass those by who would put forth no effort.

There was one servant in the parable who did not make an effort, he says he was afraid. Jesus remarks to what was said to that servant by his lord; that servant was called wicked, slothful, and what he originally had was given to someone else. He had made no effort.

( Mark 4: 26 - 29 )
Referring back to previous verses in Mark 4: 24-25; Jesus speaking goes on to say;

26:So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

  The seed is the word of God ( Luke 8:11 ); and we are to preach it.

27:And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

28:For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

29:But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

We are to preach the gospel of Christ. How that Jesus died for our sins, according to the scriptures, how that he was buried, and he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures.

We are all responsible for what we have heard, or been privy to. If we have heard the gospel, walking in it, we are commissioned to preach it. Wherever we are at.

I was a daughter of two parents who were very good basketball players, and the granddaughter of a coach. I was expected, because of what I had been privy to hearing; whether at dinner, on the court, in a living room, etc. to do what I had been taught. Not everyone else knew what I did, or received the instructions I had, they didn’t hear what I did; so when correction would come, whatever the case, it always seemed tougher on me…. you know why? I had heard what others hadn't; therefore, more was expected out of me.

We don’t know when we put forth the effort in preaching the word of God, in preaching the gospel, where it will go, where it will fall, who will hear it, but we are to still do it, we are still responsible because of what we have heard.

Acts 2:47

….. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel must be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come

We know there is coming weeks of the harvest….
God Bless you!
