Jesus Is The Answer
There is a song by Andrae Crouch called "Jesus Is the Answer." As I sat quietly, writing and reflecting, that song suddenly came into my spirit. I heard just one line: "Jesus is the answer for the world today; above Him there is no other, Jesus is the way." In that moment, I knew God was speaking directly to my heart. I sat still, letting the words linger and settle in my mind. Soon after, I decided to look up the full lyrics.
As I read through the song, one portion stood out to me:
"I know you got mountains that you think you cannot climb, I know that your skies have been dark, you think the sun won't shine. In case you don't know, I'm here to tell you that the Word of God is true, And everything that He promised, I tell you, He will do it for you."
I was so encouraged by those words.
So often, we become overwhelmed by the weight of what we're facing and forget that we were never meant to carry our burdens alone. Jesus is the answer. He has promised to take care of us. I am reminded that Jesus is our Shepherd, and we are His sheep. Sheep don't carry anything in their hands or on their backs; they simply follow the Shepherd, relaxed and enjoying the journey. I believe that is exactly how Jesus wants us to live—trusting, resting, and leaning on Him.
Trusting God with our problems is not just an option; it's what we are called to do. Why serve an almighty God, yet walk in worry and fear? Jesus said:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30, ESV)
While writing this devotional, I let go of everything I was carrying. I simply said, "Here, God," and instantly I felt the pressure lift from my neck and back.
No matter what we see or hear happening in the world today, the truth remains: Jesus is the answer. He is all we need.
Key Takeaways:
Do not carry more than what you see a sheep carry.
Release everything to Yeshua and rest.
Jesus is your answer.
