Romans 5:20 ….But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.
Isaiah 59:1 Behold the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
These two verses of scripture are saying to us that when man and his surrounding circumstances are at it’s worse, then God comes forth at His best.
Mark 5:1 the man with an unclean spirit, lived in the tombs, no man could bind him not even with chains, Neither could any man tame him.
Night and day he was in the mountains and in the tombs crying and cutting himself with stones. This was man at his worst, but when he saw
Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped Him. Jesus said... ”Come out of the man thou unclean spirit, and the Lord gave him leave.
This was God at His best. The man had gone beyond the reach and help of man, but not the help and reach of God. When a man is at his worst, God is at His best.
WOMAN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY
This woman was at her worst, caught in her sin, but God was at His best. No qualified stone-throwers were found and the rest is history, Jesus at His best said,
such sweet and powerful words, neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more. Romans 5:8 , But God commendeth His love toward us, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Psalm 136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for His mercy endureth forever.
MARY AND MARTHA
They sent for Jesus to heal their brother Lazarus, but there was a delay and Jesus did not immediately come, the situation only got worse, then death came.
This situation was at its worst! But wait a minute, Jesus was about to show up at His best. The rest is history, Lazarus came forth from the dead, bringing to his sisters the greater miracle.
The disciples were in absolute obedience to Jesus, get on board the boat and sail to the other side Jesus said…
(Yet) that three lettered word means “IN SPITE OF” they found themselves in the midst of a raging storm, they were at their worst,
but Jesus was at His best! Peter cried aloud, Lord if it is you, bid me come. Jesus said…COME… Peter climbed out of the boat and
walked on the water, as long as he kept his eyes on Jesus the water was beneath his feet.
Despair not today my friend, WHEN YOU ARE AT YOUR WORST, GOD WILL BE AT HIS BEST, KEEP YOUR KNEES DOWN AND YOUR CHIN UP!
