Lost in the crowd?
Matthew 8:1-3 (NASB)
1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.
2 And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."
3 Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
++++++++++++++
Here was one man in the crowd. He could have felt lost. But he came in faith that Jesus would heal him. Jesus took time to minister to this one man, in spite of the needs of the crowd.
Have you ever felt lost in the crowd, with a need that no one seemed to be aware? Turn to Jesus. He always has time for the individual who turn to Him.
On the other hand, how many times do we see the needs of the many and feel there is nothing we can do? Perhaps we cannot meet all the needs, but we can do something.
So whatever your place in the crowd, expect Jesus to minister to you, and in turn, look around to see who needs you! God will bless you and He will be glorified.
