care – The Manna Chef

Sisters, I simply want to encourage your hearts today and remind you that not only does God see you, He cares deeply about you. I woke up hearing the song, “My Help,” (by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir) in my spirit. I’ve been singing it since all morning. It’s an incredible reminder of just how much God really does take care of us. He’s left nothing to chance concerning you. Do you really know that? He is taking care of you every moment of every single day. I sometimes can’t wrap my head around that. There are almost 8 billion people in this world right now, and God makes it a point to check on me all day long? That’s so amazing! Who wouldn’t serve a God like that? He is right there with you throughout each day, no matter how it seems in those dark moments. Whenever you find yourself wondering how you are going to make it in these perilous times, I want you to read Psalm 121(NKJV):

¹I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
²My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

³He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
⁴Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
⁶The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

⁷The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
⁸The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.

God’s got you! Look, I know that is not grammatically correct, but I need you to really understand that today: God’s got you right where you are!

God has been speaking to me about supernatural provision and His ability to take care of His children. Surprisingly, He didn’t send me to Exodus with Moses and the children of Israel or to Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings. He sent me to a passage that seemed odd at first, and I wondered, “What does this have to do with what You have given me, Lord?”

But even as Jesus said this, a crowd approached, led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas walked over to Jesus to greet him with a kiss. But Jesus said, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

When the other disciples saw what was about to happen, they exclaimed, “Lord, should we fight? We brought the swords!” And one of them struck at the high priest’s slave, slashing off his right ear.

But Jesus said, “No more of this.” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him. Luke 22:47-51(NLT)

First of all, let me give you some context here. This passage describes for us the moment Jesus is betrayed and arrested. Judas, one of Jesus’ own disciples, led a crowd that included soldiers and temple guards to capture Him. They carried blazing torches, lanterns, and weapons as they arrived at the olive grove looking for Jesus. Judas walked over to Jesus and kissed Him to identify the Man they were seeking, and chaos ensued. The disciples were ready to throw down to defend Jesus. Peter even drew his sword and cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant, Malchus. But Jesus shut it all down, and He healed the man’s ear. He didn’t condemn the soldiers. He didn’t yell at Judas. He didn’t run away. Before willingly allowing the soldiers to take Him, He performed a miracle and healed Malchus—a man who was there with the crowd to arrest Him. Even when it seemed as if the enemy was winning, Jesus stopped everything and showed us Who He really is.
