Hold On, It’s Not Yet Over

“While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, ‘Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher.’ But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, ‘Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.’” — Luke 8:49-50 (NKJV)

Life can sometimes throw us into situations where all hope seems lost. The challenges may appear insurmountable, and it might feel like it’s over. However, the truth remains: as long as God is involved, it’s not over! The end is not determined by the difficulty of the situation but by God’s ability to intervene, and He always can.

The story in today’s text is a testament to this truth. The synagogue ruler faced an impossible situation—his daughter was not only critically ill but pronounced dead. In that moment of despair, Jesus gave him a powerful word: “Do not be afraid; only believe.” Despite the circumstances, the ruler held on to those words, and Jesus brought his daughter back to life.

Beloved, no matter how dark your situation may seem, remember that darkness often comes before dawn. When things appear to be at their worst, it’s often a sign that a breakthrough is near. Don’t let fear or despair cloud your faith. Instead, present your situation to God and trust in His power to turn things around.

Just as Jesus spoke life into the ruler’s daughter, He can speak life into your situation. Dead dreams, lost opportunities, and hopeless circumstances can be restored. The key is to believe and not give up. Keep holding on, for it’s not over until God says so. Hallelujah!

Today’s Rhema

When it gets darker, it’s because it’s about to get brighter. Don’t give up—it’s not over!
