At Work!

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Jeremiah 17:14 KJV

Today's extract is a recogntion of the healing power of God. He is called the Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals. The first time this is mentioned happened to be just after the miracle of the Red sea, with God reminding Israel that anyone who partners with Him, living right and being obedient to His commands stands to gain blessings that money cannot buy. He's also called the Saviour, the ultimate being the One who guarantees eternity for our souls at the end of this present life.

If God touches your life for good, there is no 'evil' that can touch you. Even when the unexpected happens, God is simply moving the scenes around for the next amazing miracle. Even when you do not understand the WHY behind your experiences, the WHO that you have come to know and follow will always prove Himself. However, even when things don't get better, does this change who God is? While I wait for the physical manifestation of all I am trusting God in faith for, can I hold on to the One who remains the same, even in the ever-changing world that we have come to know?

This is more about the nature of God than it is about my capacity to believe. This is more about who God is and what he can do than it is about where I stand. If God says NO, what man is there that can change it to a YES? And if God affirms you as His child, it doesn't really matter what people's opinions are. Who can speak and it comes to pass when the Lord has not commanded it? Who can close the door that the Lord has opened or open the one He has closed?  If He heals me, he is God; if He saves me, He's God. Even if it looks like it does not happen for me, like Stephen or James, my faith in God must remain unshakable that God remains God. Praise is my daily offering; my acknowledgement of God's grace, power and mercy. His time of favour is here.
