“So the crowd was astonished as they saw those who were unable to speak talking, those with impaired limbs restored, those who were limping walking around, and those who were blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel” (Matthew 15:31).
Our lord heals. In this world, it is not for the length of life but for the age to come. It is the supernatural healing which gives life eternal. We may be plagued in this age with infirmities, but they are temporary. Why some are healed and not others we can only speculate. Experience the true healing which comes by grace and through faith. Our Lord is showing us that all power belongs to Him and that He, who created all things, is able to accomplish what He promises.
Lord, I am fascinated when I hear of a miraculous healing; but let me not stop with that. You physically heal whom You heal. Help me to not look at circumstance, but to You who see all things. Yes, I love healing but guide me to focus on the real healing You have given me in this life You give which springs to eternal life. Keep me from being conditional in my faith but instead learn to trust You in and through all things.
Guide me, Lord Jesus, in the way of everlasting life. Help me to bring the healing You have given me to others that they too may be healed of the sickness of sin. You know every circumstance and You know what is needed. Lead me today, Lord, so that I obey all that the Holy Spirit will direct. In Your goodness, help me to know that You are the One who will bring healing to all who believe. Amen.
