When Jesus Heals

 

Psalm 1 says we’re to meditate on the Word day and night. One way we can do that is by taking a verse or short passage of Scripture and thinking about it throughout the day. Here is one to consider:

 

Matthew 8.14-15:

¹⁴ Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. ¹⁵ So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.

It doesn’t appear that she asked for healing. Jesus simply saw her condition and responded to her need. 

I wonder how many times He heals and blesses us that we aren’t even aware of. I wonder how often I take those things for granted.

How often might you?

When was the last time you looked around and thanked God for all the blessings in your life? For the way He has healed you spiritually? Or perhaps physically? For your children or your job?

But notice, how Peter’s mother-in-law responded. She got up and served them. We’re not healed spiritually, physically, or in any other way just for our benefit, but so we can serve others.

Let’s be blessings today.
