Then when you pray, God will answer. You'll call out for help and I'll say, 'Here I am.'
*When God Shows Up -Day 1*
*Luke 7v11-17 MSG*
Talks about a widow, whose life was filled with losses & misery. She lived in Nain.
👇🏼
She had no name.
👉🏼Her misery was used to describe her.
👉🏼Misery had indeed wrapped itself round her like a fitted garment. She was only identified as *THE WIDOW OF NAIN*
👇🏼
She had lost her hubby, probably a few months or years back, & now, her only son was gone.😥
👇🏼
Nonetheless, this widow of
Nain proceeded to bury her only son.
👇🏼
There were people there pretending to be mourning, meanwhile, they were gossiping amongst themselves..🤷🏽♂️
👉🏼"When did she lose her husband that we are once again burying her only son?
👉🏼Are we sure she is not a witch?
👉🏼Is she the only
one in town?
👇🏼
From one tragedy to another.
👉🏼God must be punishing her for her sins."
👇🏼
By this time too, the grave diggers were waiting. They had completed the task of digging the sons grave, & only waiting to be paid their balance
👉🏼The mourners at the graveyard were
waiting too, but, suddenly, the Lord saw her...felt her pain & showered her with compassion.

*Luke 7:14 MSG*
Then He went over and touched the coffin. The pallbearers stopped. He said, "Young man, I tell you: Get up."
*Luke 7:15*
The dead son sat up and began talking.
