No One to Help
For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water. After the stirring of the water, whoever stepped in first was healed of whatever disease he had. A certain man was there who had an illness for thirty-eight years.
- John 5:4-5
Jesus asked the man if he wanted to be made whole, and he answered, "Sir, I have no man." He was so caught up thinking he needed someone to help him, he could not see that his miracle was standing right in front of him!
When you have no man to help you--nowhere to turn but God--you are a prime target for a miracle! No man can do for you what Jesus can do for you.
When you quit depending on your job, the preacher, your family, or the next healing line, you are positioned for your breakthrough. Family may let you down, the preacher may disappoint you, and your friends may forsake you, but Jesus is the friend who sticks closer than a brother. Rely on Him alone, and He will meet you at the very point of your deepest need.
Even your closest friends or family can let you down. But don't be discouraged. You can always trust in your best friend, Jesus.
Jesus, no man can do for me what You can do. I know that You are my best friend. I will trust You in everything because You are my best friend. Amen.
