The God of Healing
“And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who
was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him,
saying, ‘Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.’” Luke 5:12
When Jesus came into the city the leper reached out to Him.
He fell on his face and worshiped Him! This leper believed in Jesus Christ and
humbly sought the Lord’s mercy and grace to heal his wounds. The leper didn’t
demand that God heal him- like many preachers today. There are groups today who
name it and claim it, literally commanding God to do certain things in their
lives. However, God is not our magic genie. He desires that we seek His will in
our lives.
This leper did just that. Though he wanted to be healed, he
didn’t demand that God heal him. Instead, the leper had faith that Jesus could
heal him, if it was his will to do so. He sought God’s will for his life first!
Thought for the Day: When the leper sought
God’s will first, he found his healing.
