Perhaps someone has asked you before, "Can anything good come out of your life?" Maybe they see you as a regular person. They see you as someone who cannot amount to anything good. They see you as someone who is going through the difficulties and turbulence of life. And in their minds, they are thinking, "Can anything good really come out of your Nazareth?"
They asked the same question during the time of Jesus in the Bible. They said, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Nazareth was a poor city, probably the most wretched among the neighboring cities. So, people didn’t really see anything good about it. It was just a regular place where nothing much was happening.
There had been nothing really good happening in that city, not even in their history. And you know, there is this thinking people have about something they’ve used to. Just as they are thinking about you, there are certain beliefs and thoughts they have about you. Maybe based on how they’ve seen your life, maybe based on what they think you can do.
They’ve looked at you inside out and have concluded that there is nothing really much coming out of your life. In the same way, looking at the city of Nazareth, people believed nothing good could come out of it. But you know how God does His things. He never ceases to amaze men, just to let them know that He’s the One who has the final say over every situation in our lives. He’s still the One reigning and in charge of all human affairs.
So, when the issue of Nazareth came up, God knew He was going to show His wonders again. He knew He was going to surprise people. As a matter of fact, He sometimes allows things to happen so that He can show His glory and power. He did allow Jesus to be born in that city so that He could show His power and glory.
As people were not expecting much from the city, God did a surprise. And it was a surprise indeed. He made the Savior come out of that ordinary city that people didn’t even recognize. He made sure the Savior of the world had His earthly origin traceable to the most wretched city in the nation of Israel. How incredible is that?
When Jesus came and people saw the wonders He was performing, they asked, "Can anything good really come out of Nazareth? Or is it not the same Nazareth we know? Is it not the same people we know? In fact, is it not the same Jesus we know? Was He not the son of Joseph?" They began to analyze Jesus and His miracles as if they were analyzing a case.
It was an amazement.
So, just as people asked that question about Nazareth, so are they asking the same question about you—wondering if anything good can come out of your life.
I know it can be devastating for you to see people show such attitudes. Sometimes, they might not even say it; they might just show it in their attitudes or the way they do things. But you know what? You don’t need their opinions. The Lord is with you, and He will show His glory upon your life. He will let them know that He is the one in charge of your life, and He’s got you covered.
You don’t need to worry. Your life will be a testimony that the world will celebrate. It will be an epitome of God’s grace and goodness.
Keep doing your work. Don’t be distracted. Focus on your future, and the Lord will get you there. I see you stepping into a new level of glory and grace. Hearty cheers!
