Returning from Gergesa to the western shore, Jesus found a multitude gathered to receive him,

and they greeted him with joy. He remained by the seaside for a time, teaching and healing, and then repair to the house

of Levi Matthew to meet the publicans at the feast.

Here, Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, found him.

This elder of the Jews came to Jesus in great distress and cast himself at his feet,

exclaiming, My little daughter lieth at the point of death. I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed, and she shall live.

Sounds good, doesn't it? healed and she shall live.

Like, I agree with you, but this is what God has called me to do right now, so I need to keep doing it.

And he was like, well, who's going to pay for it?

I'm like, well, you know, God will provide. And he kind of got annoyed by that, and he's like, well, you know, I'm paying for it. So like, what do you mean God's going to provide? And so like, fine, I'll just stop paying for it then. And I'm like, that's fine. God will provide a different way. And he's like, what do you mean?

I'm like, Dad, God can provide a different way. And it's like, what do you mean? I'm like, Dad, God can provide through ravens, and he can provide through you.

You get to choose if you want God to provide through you.

If you say no, you will no longer be part of the blessing, and God can provide for me through somebody else.
