Monday, September 1

A daybreak will visit us from on high.—Luke 1:78.

 

God has given Jesus the power to solve all mankind’s problems. By means of his miracles, Jesus demonstrated his power to conquer obstacles that we could never overcome on our own. For example, he has the power to free us from the root cause of mankind’s problems—inherited sin and its effects, sickness and death. (Matt. 9:1-6; Rom. 5:12, 18, 19) His miraculous works proved that he can cure “every sort of” sickness and even resurrect the dead. (Matt. 4:23; John 11:43, 44) Also, he has the power to control violent windstorms and defeat wicked spirits. (Mark 4:37-39; Luke 8:2) How reassuring it is to know that Jehovah has placed such power in the hands of his Son! We can be fully confident that the future blessings under God’s Kingdom will come true. The miracles Jesus performed as a man on earth teach us what he will do on a much greater scale as the heavenly King of God’s Kingdom. w23.04 3 ¶5-7

When Jesus healed, fed, and calmed storms, we glimpsed Jehovah’s own heart — a love that feels our pain and a power that longs to lift it. Yet if that same hand holds back a blessing for now, it is never from indifference but from wisdom, for his timing is perfect and his love unchanging. What seems like delay may in truth be protection, preparation, or the shaping of a better path we cannot yet see.
