284. Have Faith In The Healer

Matthew 9, Luke 7

But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.     And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.   Matthew 9:22,35

This woman had been to doctors for twelve years to figure out how to heal her issue of blood and came up with nothing. When she heard about Jesus, she tried to get help one more time believing that God could heal her even though no one else could. In verse thirty five it says that Jesus healed every sickness and every disease. He is able to heal anything and everything. Physically, mentally, emotionally. Why is it that He isn't the first one you turn to in times of need? Is it that you have more faith in doctors than you do in Jesus? Do you have the faith this woman had to believe that Jesus can and will heal you if it is his will? If you do have that faith, do you act on it? Do you pray and ask Him for the healing you or someone else needs?

God's Vessel

  God's Vessel by Ruth Navis I am God's precious vessel, He's molding me of clay; To work and serve, and love, and be with Him one day. He gently forms and fashions me to make me what I ought to be, But then someone acts carelessly and breaks this work of clay. All anyone can see are the pieces on the floor; They laugh and poke their fun at me, and walk right out the door. I look to God in my brokenness and for help and mercy cry; I'm all alone, broken pieces of stone that everyone's left behind. I'm broken, bruised, and battered, but no one seems to care; Then God above looks down in love, and shows me He is there. He picks up all the pieces, he takes them one by one; He glues them back together, until His work is done. Now when people look at me, they can see all my scars. They think that they are all my fault, that I've earned them, missed the bar. So they continue to pick on me, because now I'm no longer pretty, I cry out to God helplessly, and hope ...

72. God Does All Things For Our Good

Deuteronomy 5-7 O that there were such an hear in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, and it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!    Deuteronomy 5:29 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.    Deuteronomy 6:24 God made it clear, and the children of Israel understood that all the commandments that God had given them were for their good and because God loved them. When there are things that God convicts you of, or rules applicable to you from His word, what is your response? Do you understand that He loves you and wants only the best for you? Or do you choose to think He doesn't know what He's doing and wants to keep you from having fun or enjoying life? The rules and the commandments God gives us and the guidelines and boundaries He puts in place is for our good. Will you choose just to trust and ...

137. Trust And Obey

2 Samuel 16-18 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his house in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.          2 Samuel 17:23 To take ones life because no one listens to ones self is shocking. We might think, that's one of the stupidest things I've ever hear, or I would never do that. And while we might not take our own lives over something like that, would we do something else that is totally unnecessary? How highly do you value your opinion, advice, what you have to say? You might not take your life, but if you feel no one is paying attention to you, might you get upset at them? Maybe ignore responsibilities and pout all day? Maybe you choose to take offence to them and then decide to ignore them whenever they're around you or you them. Do you give up on doing what's right because what y...
