He See’s YOU!!!

Recently , I taught a Bible Study on the story of the widow of Nain in Luke 7:11-17. Nain , which means beauty, was about 25 miles from Capernaum. Perhaps years before the woman had lost her husband and on this particular day she would bury her only son. She and a band of mourners would walk down the road to the rock hewned burial caves, while at the same time Jesus, His disciples and a large crowd with Him just happened to be passing by. The widow of Nain  is just one of the nameless, faceless women of the Bible. She is a woman perhaps like you at times overcome with devastation, loss and despair. Her last precious possession now gone, her hope for the future now lost in a sea of uncertainty…. She isn’t looking for a Savior, she isn’t looking for a miracle- those days are past… But the Bible says, but yet….. “when the LORD saw her, He had compassion on her.” She wasn’t looking for Him but HE was looking for her. On that day the procession of death intersected with the procession of life and everything changed. When the two collided, the woman’s life would never be the same. Not only was the dead son brought back to life, but her hope was restored. Maybe you need a divine intersection, a divine intervention….  Maybe you today have lost all hope, but the story of this woman says to you HE SEE’S YOU!!!!! He is concerned about the things that concern you. He still is the God of the impossible. Those things that you thought died and all hope of restoration has past, He can shake the ground once more and cause dead things to come alive again.

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry. Ps. 34:15
