« CEV It troubled the LORD to see them in trouble, and His angel saved them. The LORD was truly merciful, so He rescued His people. He took them in His arms and carried them all those years »
«GNT from all their suffering. It was not an angel, but the LORD himself who saved them. In his love and compassion he rescued them. He had always taken care of them in the past »
« NKJV In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the Angel of His Presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them All the days of old »
13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so He could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering Him.
14 When Jesus saw what was happening, He was angry with His disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
16 Then He took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.
In our Bible reading for today, they brought children to Jesus, and as He carried them, He also blessed them.
- When God carries a person, He also blesses the individual as we see in Mark 10:16.
When you read the account of the Israelites leaving Egypt, you will see clearly that all the forces in heaven, on earth, and underneath the earth were working together to favour them.
This is what happens when God carries you, you will be come blessed by Him. Exodus 19:4NASB says
« ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself »
Some people don’t know the real meaning of ‘God bless you.’
After you have said, ” God bless you,” they still say, “Pray for me.”
Being blessed by God is a summon to all the forces in heaven, on earth, and underneath the earth to assist you to succeed- that is the meaning of ‘God bless you.’
Believe it or not, even demons will be summoned to assist you when God is carrying you.
A few years ago, I was in an African nation for a programme. As we were heading to the venue of the crusade, we encountered a serious traffic jam. Even though we got a Police escort to help clear the traffic on the way to the venue, we were still stuck as nobody was obeying the Police escort. All of a sudden, a madman came to the front of the car we were in and began to clear the way. The man was so mad that if you looked into his eyes, you could see devils dancing in them. He cleared the way until we got to the end of the traffic jam. When the road was free, he came to the side of the car I was sitting in and bowed.
When God carries you, everything will work together in your favour.
If you want God to carry you, you must become like a child.
In our Bible reading for today, there were many adults around, but the only ones Jesus carried were the children.
- If you are not like a child, you will be too heavy for Him to carry.
This means that you must be humble, obey His word, not hold grudges, and have faith in Him like a child that believes whatever his father tells him.
Application – God will only carry children. You must become a child in His hands, then He will carry you and bless you.
