God’s Encouraging Word of the day

“O LORD, you alone can heal me; you alone can save. My praises are for you alone!”

Jeremiah 17:14

God cares about our spiritual life and our physical life. He created the human body, and he is pleased when we enjoy health and vigor. But in this world our bodies endure sickness, pain, decay and sometimes we abuse our own bodies. Often our ailments occur without even knowing why, nor does God promise that we will understand why.

Healing occurs –sometimes dramatically, as in the work of Jesus and his disciples. The Gospels overflow with stories of Jesus healing every kind of bodily affliction. So did his disciples, whom he promised that they could do the same works that he did.

God still works to heal people in ways that defy medical knowledge. It is never wrong to pray for healing, either for ourselves or others. That being said if healing does not occur in this life, know there is something greater awaiting us afterward.

God Bless You & Happy New Year
