Father God let this touch someone’s heart in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
Sometimes we can be in so much pain and think it is not going away. If we took the time to rest our minds and relax. Like take a warm shower and relax so the body can just rest. Peace can bring healing to the mind, body and soul. If we ignore rest, peace and relaxation we just make it worse. God knows everything about us. He knows more about us than we know our selves. He knows we can worry, stress and get depressed over pain without realizing God is right there with us through it all. God nudges us to rest and letting us know we need to rest.
It reads in Jeremiah 30:17: But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord, ‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.’ {A reminder that God will never leave you. His word is alive and active to address our need for physical healing. This verse gives us insight into the biblical meaning of restoration, healing, and wholeness.}
It reads in Matthew 8:5-13, ~ When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.” Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?” The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.
Many sought healings from Jesus as he cured the lame, demon-possessed, leprous, and disease ridden. Now, as Jesus came to the northern city of Capernaum, a centurion comes to Jesus seeking healing for his servant. So, I say the Centurion had a faith in Jesus that didn’t waver. But the centurion said of himself, “I am not worthy.” His heart had been touched by the grace of Christ and he saw his own unworthiness. He trusted not to his own goodness; his appeal was his great need. We must first understand that faith like the centurion’s in the Lord’s infinite power is not academic. The Lord is not looking for us to have an academic understanding that he is omnipotent. Israel knew that God was omnipotent. Their problem was that this knowledge did not translate into a personal faith.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You for the awesome example of the Centurion’s faith which delighted the Lord Jesus with His demonstration of trust in the Lord Jesus and hope in His Word. Guide me to enhance my faith in You by standing firmly on Your unaltered: and unaltered permanent promises. Even when circumstances appear to contradict Your Word guide me to know the truth. I thank You and praise You for guiding and encourage healing in all lives. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
