JUST WHEN I NEED HIM MOST

Dearly Beloved, JUST WHEN I NEED HIM MOST “Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing. So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid. But He said to them, ‘It is I; do not be afraid’” (John 6:18-20 NKJV). One of the very stimulating Christian hymns is “JUST WHEN I NEED HIM MOST” composed by an early twentieth-century Methodist pastor, William C. Poole (1875-1949). The hymn is a reassurance that Jesus Christ is near when we need Him most. As mortals, human beings are bound to falter and fear the uncertain reality of life and the unknown future. Anxiety may creep in because of this. However, Jesus Christ is ready to help one and cheer and comfort one just when one needs Him most. The disciples of Jesus Christ could bear witness to this as they were caught in a storm on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus Christ came and reassured them of His presence and power over nature (see Matthew 14:22-33; Mark 4:35-41). Jesus is indeed true to His promises. He will never forsake anyone who comes to Him (see John 6:37; Hebrews 13:5), and He is ready to see the person all the way through. He is strong to bear your burdens all the day long. He has admonished people who are weary and burdened to come to Him, and that He would give them rest (see Matthew 11:28-30). Indeed, Jesus is all in all for anyone who trusts in Him. He is ready to answer the call of anyone who calls on Him (see Matthew 7:7), and He is fully and tenderly watching lest those who trust in Him fall. Reverend William C. Poole was right: Jesus is near to comfort and cheer, just when I need Him most! Have you put your total trust in Jesus Christ? Do you feel His presence with you in the storms of your life? Are you calling on Him when you are in despair? Are you allowing Him to carry your burden for you? If you rely on Him, you will experience Him just when you need Him most. The writer of the book to the Hebrews declared: “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:15-16 NKJV). In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that you will be able to always rely on Jesus Christ who is ready to help you just when you need Him most.
